Abstract

An aircraft with a fuselage that defines at least an interior region and a drive system accommodating region, the drive system accommodating region being arranged inside the fuselage and comprising at least one fire protection zone that is defined by at least one associated firewall arrangement, the at least one fire protection zone accommodating at least one engine within the at least one associated firewall arrangement such that the associated firewall arrangement defines a fire-resistant separation between the at least one engine and the interior region of the fuselage, wherein the at least one associated firewall arrangement comprises at least one air duct for ducting a hot air flow that is generated in operation of the aircraft independent from heat generation of the at least one engine.
