Abstract
An assembly of at least one extinguishing agent tank in the interior of an aircraft strut. The strut has an elongate chamber form extending in a longitudinal direction and includes a plurality of ribs which are spaced apart and arranged in parallel along the strut, each extending orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. The ribs are covered by lateral walls, at least one of the walls comprising a window opening into a space between two consecutive ribs, and via which a spherical extinguishing agent tank is installed in the interior of the strut. The assembly of the tank on the strut includes a frame arranged in the interior of the strut, facing the window and secured on each of the two consecutive ribs. The frame forms a support area on which the tank is supported. A system locks the extinguishing agent tank on the frame.
