A fire detector system is a set of sensors that monitor and detect a high termperature and warns the flight crew. Fire Detection Systems are usually installed in the engine under the cowlings. If it detects a fire, the flight crew can pull a lever that fires a charge that releases a chemical fire retardant and extinguish the fire. There are other areas in an airplane that use Fire Detection System(FDS). FedEx cargo carrier is in the process of developing a FDS that monitors the freight containers (called "cans") that are positioned in the main flight deck. This system is a series of sensors mounted above each pair of Cans and watches for a hot spot. If it detects a Can that may have a fire inside of it, the computer commands the release of Argon from a central tank that operates an Arm. The Arm moves to the Can that is hot and jabs a point through the top of the Can. Then a special fire retardant foam is released under the force of the Argon gas and fills the Can, snuffing out the fire. This design will have STC approval in a couple of months.

What is the function of a heat detector system?
To detect heat from/of a fire or something which is dangerously hot in cerrtain apllications. They are connected to fire alarm system where when the heat detector detects heat, it activates the fire alarm causing the need to evacuate. These type of devices are used in applications where smoke detectors would not be practicle. For example, kitchens, boiler houses etc.
What type of fire extinguisher agent is used to combat aircraft fuel fires?
Aircraft fuel is often composed mainly of kerosene, making it a class B fire. Because of the volume and spread of such fires, a compressed-air foam system is often used to create a layer of foam that smothers the fire.
What is a heat detector?
A heat detector is a device designed to sense a significant increase in temperature, typically above a certain threshold. It is commonly used in fire alarm systems to detect fires in areas where smoke detectors may not be suitable, such as kitchens or areas with excessive dust. When the temperature rise is detected, the heat detector triggers an alarm to alert occupants of potential fire hazards.
How do aircraft fire warning systems function?
there are 3 detectors i can only think of 2 off the top of my head, there is a continuous fire wire which detects mainly heat and sets off the sensor if there is a break in the wire caused by melting,, so u may get a false fire indication from a hot start, there is also an infra-red detector which is more accurate as it can be used to detect actual flames,, the third detector is much like the continuos fire wire and only detects heat so again is not as accurate as the infra red.
Can police Radar Detector Detectors disable or harm your radar detector?
Generally no, but if used around any naval base or military aircraft facility you run the risk if their radar systems causing major damage to your equipment due to the strength of their systems.
What Instrument System is used in military aircraft?
Different aircraft have different brands of avionics, but the C-17 and C-5 aircraft have Honeywell avionics.
Where and how is americium used in the home?
It's used in smoke detectors. It ionizes the air in the detector, and the electrons displaced by the ionization flow between two plates. Smoke disrupts this flow, the detector sees the change in current as proof of a fire and sounds the alarm.
Which detector is used in tv receivers?
Diode detector
What satellite network is used for navigation of ships and aircraft?
The Global Positioning System, or GPS, is a network of Satellites used for accurate navigation of ships and aircraft.
What kind of paint is used for aircraft painting?
The paint that is used when painting an aircraft is high adhesion fire resitant paint. This is due to the fact that the aircraft will travel at very fast speeds, and the paint needs to be certian that it will not peel while in the air.
What demodulators PLL is used?
FM detector And Evelope detector
What was the purpose of D-Day Stripes?
They were used to identify Allied aircraft in the hope of avoiding friendly fire.
