firewall
Definição1
A noninflammable partition separating the whole or a portion of an engine nacelle from the rest of the aircraft to prevent the spread of fire. Each separated area is called a fire zone and often has its own fire detectors and extinguishers. When a firewall separates the entire engine from the rest of the aircraft, it is often called a fireproof bulkhead.
