ABSTRACT:
An aircraft fire-fighting training apparatus is disclosed that allows firghters to train on a mock-up that simulates a real-life aircraft fire but yet is controllable and environmentally safe. A fuel source feeds liquid propane through several discrete shut-off valves to sets of primary and secondary nozzles where it is ignited. A deflector shield placed adjacent the primary nozzles forces the flames into a channel adjacent the mock-up, causing a rolling flame to engulf all of the fuselage of the mock-up. Secodary nozzles provide flame to simulated landing gear attached to the mock-up wings.
