Description

The invention relates to the field of aircraft safety and preventing the commission of a terrorist act with their use.

It is known that many countries of the world, including Germany, are allowed to shoot airplanes captured by terrorists in the air (Internet site http://www.7news.ru/). In this case, the entire crew and all passengers of the aircraft completely die.

Known aircraft safety system according to US Pat. RF №2151714, containing the control system and the "black box", the control system contains technical means that do not allow exceeding critical flight modes: speed, angles, etc.

The disadvantage is that the system does not have protection against terrorists.

Known aircraft safety system according to US Pat. RF №2214934, containing a control system, a black box, a transmitter and receiver and antenna. The device allows an interceptor to take control of aircraft captured by terrorists in the air.

The disadvantage is the large loss of passengers during the commission of a terrorist act on the ground, and especially in flight.

A known method and device for ensuring the safety of an aircraft according to the application of the Russian Federation with a positive decision No. 2004121624, prior July 14, 2004 (prototype of the method and device). The method consists in monitoring the aircraft cabin using one or more video cameras and firing with the help of remote-controlled small arms against terrorists who have captured the aircraft.

The disadvantages of this method and device are that losses are not excluded among passengers and the constant presence of small arms in full combat readiness with ammunition on all aircraft is not safe, because its unauthorized use is possible, while innocent people and the material part of the aircraft will suffer.

The objective of the invention is to reduce passenger losses when releasing a plane hijacked by terrorists.

The solution to this problem was achieved due to the fact that in the method of ensuring the elimination of terrorists who hijacked an aircraft by detecting them using video cameras installed in the aircraft cabin, by detecting the presence of terrorists in the aircraft, they cut off the fuel supply to the combustion chamber of gas turbine engines and turn on supplying fuel to additional nozzles installed in the nozzles of aircraft gas turbine engines ignites it, while simulating the operation of aircraft gas turbine engines d without creating drafts and create a smokescreen conducive to storm the plane.

A solution to this problem was achieved in the system for ensuring the elimination of terrorists who hijacked an aircraft containing at least one video camera connected to a display installed in the aircraft cabin, in that three-way cranes with actuators are installed in front of the nozzles of the combustion chamber in the fuel systems of aircraft gas turbines, one outlet of which is connected to the nozzles of the combustion chambers, and the other to additional nozzles installed in the nozzles of the aircraft gas turbine engines, in which are also installed electrozapalnye devices. Three-way valve actuators are connected to a control panel installed in the cockpit. Actuators of three-way cranes and electrozapalny devices can also be connected to the transmitter of the aircraft, which is connected via a radio channel to the ground receiving and transmitting device to which the ground control panel is connected.

The proposed technical solution is clothed with novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. Novelty is confirmed by patent research. The inventive step is confirmed by the fact that the proposed technical solution is not obvious to a specialist of average skill and allows you to get several positive effects simultaneously in a very original way.

Industrial applicability is confirmed by the fact that all components of the invention: cameras, cranes, pipelines and cables are known at the priority date.

The invention is illustrated in figures 1 and 2, where

figure 1 shows a diagram of an assault on an airplane;

figure 2 shows the fuel supply scheme of an aircraft gas turbine engine.

The plane (figure 1), having the outer skin of the aircraft 1, contains a cockpit (pilot) 2, passenger cabins (cabin) 3 and cargo compartment 4. The cockpit 2 is separated from the passenger compartment 3 by means of a front partition 5, which is made armored, and passenger compartments 3 are separated by partitions 6. Aircraft equipment includes a control system 7 and a black box 8. A transmitter 9 is connected to the black box 8 with the antenna of the aircraft 10. The system contains at least one video camera 11 and one microphone 12 installed in pass zhirskih salons 3. Video camera 11 can also be installed in the cargo bay 4.

A display 13 and a speaker 14 are installed in the cockpit of the pilots 2. A video camera (video cameras) 11 are connected to the display 13 through the system unit of the computer 15 with a cable 16. The speaker 14 is connected to the microphones 11 through the system unit of the computer 15. In the cockpit 2, the control panel 17 is installed. It can be a computer keyboard or a mouse-type manipulator or another button device or a device with a toggle switch.

In the engine nacelles 18 installed aircraft gas turbine engines - GTE 19, the design of which and the fuel supply system are shown in figure 2. In the fuel supply systems of aircraft gas turbine engines, three-way cranes 20 with actuators 21 are installed. Through a communication channel, for example, a wired 22 drive of three-way cranes 21 are connected to the control panel 17.

Three-way valves 20 (FIG. 2) are installed in the fuel supply system after the pumps 23. On all aircraft gas turbine engines 19, the outlet from the pump 23 is connected to the inlet to the three-way valve 20 by means of a high pressure fuel line 24. One outlet from the three-way valve 20 is connected by a manifold 25 to the main nozzles 26, which are installed at the end of the combustion chamber 27. The second exit from the three-way valve 20 through an additional pipe 28 is connected to additional nozzles 29 installed inside the nozzle 30 of the aircraft gas turbine engines 19, for example, conical cowl 31. At the tapered fairing 31 is also set elektrozapalnoe device 32. Additional tubing 28 extends inside the nozzle 30 aircraft gas turbine engine 19 through the hollow bullet-shaped rib 33, the cable is laid to elektrozapalnomu device ibid.

It is possible to control the system from the ground. In this case, a cable 34 connects the actuator 20 of the three-way crane 21 to the transmitter of the aircraft 9 having the antenna of the aircraft 10. The ground control panel 35 is connected to the ground transmitting and receiving device 36 with the ground antenna 37.

Terrorists 38 are on the plane. Assault Group 39 vehicles are located at the airport. The smoke screen 40 separates the aircraft and the assault vehicles 39. At the same time, the terrorists 38 do not see these cars, and the operators who are in the machines of the assault group 39 observe the terrorists 38 on the computer monitors installed in the machines of the assault group 39 (in Fig. 1 and 2 not shown) using a radio channel.

When passengers are boarding passengers in passenger compartments 3, the pilot (or security officer) includes video cameras 11 and microphones 12. The display 13 receives an image from all video cameras 11, and sound from microphones 12 to the speakers 14. The pilot assesses the situation in the passenger compartment 3 using the display 13. If the plane was captured by terrorists 38, then an alarm signal is transmitted from one of the cameras 11 and microphone 12. The signal is formed by a sharp movement or a sharp sound. Similar programs are created and applied in security systems. The pilot, on his own initiative or on a team of terrorists 38, for take-off using the control panel 17 manually via a wired communication channel 22 sends a signal to the actuator 20 of the three-way crane and puts it in such a position that the fuel supply to the main nozzles 26 of the combustion chamber 27 is cut off for all aviation gas turbine engines 19 and makes their launch impossible. The starter spins the rotor of the aircraft gas turbine engine (the starter is not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), the fuel from the pump 23 through the three-way valve 20 through additional pipelines 28 is supplied to the additional nozzles 29 and at the same time, the electric power is supplied to the additional electrosalon device 32 (electric candle) and ignites the incoming fuel. This creates an imitation of engine starting, they smoke very much, but do not create traction. This misinforms the terrorists, leads them into confusion and makes it possible to create smoke screens on both sides of the aircraft to ensure the operation of assault vehicles 39.

If necessary, the system can be activated using the ground control panel 35, from which it is possible to send a signal to the ground receiving and transmitting device 36, then to the ground antenna 39 and via radio to the antenna of the aircraft 10, then to the transmitter of the aircraft 9 and then to the actuator 19 of the three-way crane twenty.

This method will make it impossible to take off and use the aircraft to carry out a large-scale terrorist act. With long-term operation of aircraft gas turbine engines in this mode, all fuel can be burned, thereby reducing the risk of fire during an assault. Passengers and crew will not be affected.

In addition, the operation of engines with the release of a huge amount of smoke will make a shocking impression on the terrorists, create a smoke screen and allow the assault group to penetrate the aircraft and render them harmless.

Using the proposed group of inventions allowed:

- produce a shocking effect on terrorists,

- disable the aircraft captured by terrorists, making it impossible to take off on it,

- implement effective neutralization of terrorists,

- minimize the loss of passengers and crew during the assault of an airplane captured by terrorists,
