FIELD: demountable equipment of transport aircraft for fire extinguishing from the air. ^ SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with aviation for fire extinguishing. The equipment consists of the mounted on trolleys fire extinguishing substance discharge tanks. Each trolley is kept on the floor structure of a cargo compartment of an aircraft by means of pneumatic rollers and wedge clampers and is fixed by means of a tie-down system. The basic and additional discharge tanks are mounted on the trolleys and executed accordingly in the form of in parallel located tubular segments and the sections connected with the atmosphere through the leveling pressure-relief valves. At adjacent butts of sections of the tubular discharge tanks there are equidistant conical surfaces contacting each other and embraced by a tension band and the fixed tools for filling up and discharge of an extinguishing liquid. Each section has a turning shutter. The guiding launder of the equipment is installed on a hinging loading door of the cargo section of a transport aircraft and is made telescopic. In the cockpit there is a remote control system of the fire extinguishing liquid discharge over the seats of fire. The technical result is lowering of labor input and duration of the equipment installation and dismantling. ^ EFFECT: the invention allows to decrease labor input and duration of the equipment installation and dismantling. ^ 5 cl, 7 dwg
