Abstract:
An assembly for an aircraft, the assembly including a pylon with a lateral wall pierced by a window, a tank with a neck blocked by a film and carrying a first anchoring arrangement, and a fixing arrangement for fixing at least a part of the tank bearing the neck inside the pylon, a discharge pipe, and a discharge head. The head includes an explosive cartridge and a hole with a second anchoring arrangement in which discharges the discharge pipe. The discharge head is fixed inside the pylon facing the window. The explosive cartridge is designed to generate in the hole a shockwave sufficient to rupture the film. An assembly of this kind enables simple and rapid removal of the tank from and installation thereof inside the pylon.
