First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fire suppression and warning system for an aircraft, the system comprising:
- an inert gas delivery system for delivering an inert gas output to an enclosed space on the aircraft;
an inert gas indicator for signaling that the inert gas delivery system delivered the inert gas output to the enclosed space;
an on-ground indicator for signaling that the aircraft is located on the ground; and
a warning device for warning that the inert gas output is present in the enclosed space, the warning device being activated in response to a signal from the inert gas indicator and a signal from the on-ground indicator.

Abstract
A fire suppression and warning system for an aircraft includes an inert gas delivery system, an inert gas indicator, an on-ground indicator, and a warning device. The inert gas delivery system delivers an inert gas output to an enclosed space on the aircraft. The inert gas indicator signals that the inert gas delivery system has delivered the inert gas output to the enclosed space. The on-ground indicator signals that the aircraft is located on the ground. The warning device actively warns that the inert gas output is present in the enclosed space in response to a signal from the inert gas indicator and a signal from the on-ground indicator.

9. A method for warning of a presence of inert gas in an enclosed space on an aircraft, the method comprising:
-
detecting the presence of the inert gas; detecting that the aircraft is located on ground; and activating a warning that the inert gas is present in the enclosed space when the aircraft is located on ground. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A fire suppression and warning system for an aircraft, the system comprising:
-
an enclosed space located on the aircraft; an inert gas delivery system for delivering inert gas to the enclosed space; an odorant storage container for storing an odorant; and an odorant activation mechanism for initiating release of the odorant from the odorant storage container to the enclosed space, the odorant activation mechanism initiating release of the odorant when inert gas is present in the enclosed space and the aircraft is located on ground. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
