Engine compartment flammable fluid drainage system

An aircraft fluid drainage system configured to allow fluid on an engine deck of an aircraft engine compartment to exit the compartment, while shielding airborne aircraft fluid from airflow, comprising:

• a cooling inlet adapted to direct an airflow throughout an engine compartment having an engine deck;
• an internal drain line for directing a fluid toward an external drain line;
• and a fluid drainage apparatus, comprising:
• a funnel member having a top opening and a bottom opening, the funnel member adapted to receive the fluid in the top opening and direct the fluid to the external drain line through the bottom opening;
• a drain shield coupled to the funnel member and extending only vertically therefrom, the drain shield adapted to shield the fluid from airflow;
• and a plurality of shield openings disposed in the drain shield such that the fluid can exit through the funnel member from the engine deck.

An aircraft inlet shield system configured to allow fluid on an engine deck of an aircraft engine compartment to exit the compartment, while shielding airborne aircraft fluid from airflow, comprising:

• a cooling inlet adapted to direct an airflow in an engine compartment having an engine deck;
• an engine inlet screen adapted to protect an engine from debris and allow the airflow to access the engine;
• an internal drain line for directing a fluid away from the engine;
• a drain hole coupled to an external drain line, the external drain line adapted to direct the fluid out of the engine compartment;
• and an inlet shield coupled to the engine deck and positioned shield the fluid exiting the internal drain line from the airflow, comprising:
• a funnel member having a top opening and a bottom opening, the funnel member adapted to receive the fluid in the top opening and direct the fluid to the external drain line through the bottom opening;
• a drain shield coupled to the funnel member and extending only vertically therefrom, the drain shield adapted to shield the fluid from airflow;
• and a plurality of shield openings disposed in the drain shield such that the fluid can exit through the funnel member from the engine deck.
