PYLON ARRANGEMENT FOR OPEN STRUCTURE

An aircraft pylon is disclosed, the pylon including a strut, a modular fluid containment structure and a modular firewall. The strut presents an open structure and connects an aircraft external element to the aircraft. The fluid containment structure is associated with a fluid transfer component, wherein the fluid containment structure contains escaped fluid from the fluid transfer component and channels the escaped fluid away from the aircraft. Both the fluid containment component and the firewall are modular and separable from the strut.
