Abstract: A method of protecting aviation equipment. An aircraft is provided having an engine attached thereto. The engine has an engine inlet, a nose cone and a nozzle. The nose cone is operably mounted to the engine. The nozzle is mounted to the nose cone. An object in proximity to the engine inlet is sensed with a sensor. In response to sensing the object, the nose cone is moved from a retracted position to an extended position. In response to sensing the object, tubing provides a liquid to the nozzle and the liquid is emitted from the nozzle.

Abstract: An airplane passenger transport system that includes an airplane and a first passenger module. The first passenger module is removably positionable in the airplane. The first passenger module is adapted to transport at least one person in an at least partially enclosed configuration. The first passenger module includes at least one of a seat and a bed for the at least one person can sit while being transported in the airplane.

Abstract: An aviation equipment illumination personnel protection system that includes an aircraft and a light. The aircraft has an engine attached thereto. The engine includes an engine inlet and an engine outlet. The engine is configured such that contact between a person and the engine has the potential to cause significant injury or death to the person. The light is mounted to the aircraft and is capable of illuminating at least a portion of the engine to visually alert the person in proximity to the engine of the presence of the engine and thereby enhance an ability of the person to avoid contact with the engine.
