1. Process for fighting a fire in an airplane compartment ( 16), comprising a detection phase (by26) of the presence of the fire, and a phase of extinguishing this fire, characterized in that the extinguishing phase comprises a projection phase (by24), into the compartment (16), of an extinguishing
1. Process for fighting a fire in an airplane compartment ( 16), comprising a detection phase (by26) of the presence of the fire, and a phase of extinguishing this fire, characterized in that the extinguishing phase comprises a projection phase (by24), into the compartment (16), of an extinguishing fluid, as well as a phase of generating (by2) air enriched in inert gas, from a source (5) of compressed air internal to the airplane, and a phase of admission (via10) of at least a portion or this enriched air into the compartment (16).2. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the air enriched in inert gas is generated by causing said compressed air to circulate through permeable membranes (6).3. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the air enriched in inert gas is generated by causing the compressed air to circulate through molecular sieves.4. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the air enriched in inert gas has an inert gas content comprised between 84 and 95%, preferably between 88 and 91%.5. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that there is admitted into the compartment substantially all said air enriched in inert gas.6. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the extinguishing fluid is a liquid and that this extinguishing liquid is projected in atomized form into the compartment (16) by means of a gas under pressure.7. Process according to claim 6, characterized in that the extinguishing fluid is water.8. Process according to claim 6, characterized in that there is used a fraction of said air enriched in inert gas, so as to project said extinguishing liquid in atomized form.9. Installation for fighting a fire in an airplane compartment ( 16), comprising means (26) for detecting the presence of said fire, and means (10,20,24) for extinguishing this fire, characterized in that the extinguishing means comprise means (20,24), for projecting within said compartment (16) an extinguishing fluid, means (2) for generating air enriched in inert gas, from a source (5) of compressed air internal to the airplane, and means (8,10) for admitting at least a portion of this enriched air to the interior of the compartment (16).10. Installation according to claim 9, characterized in that the generation means comprise a separation apparatus (2) with permeable membranes (6).11. Installation according to claim 9, characterized in that the generation means comprise a separation apparatus with molecular sieves.12. Installation according to claim 9, characterized in that the projection means comprise a reservoir (20) containing the extinguishing fluid, and a supply line (24) extending from the reservoir and opening into the compartment (16).13. Installation according to claim 12, characterized in that the reservoir (20) is placed in communication with at least one supply means (12,22) for a gas under pressure.14. Installation according to claim 13, characterized in that at least one supply means (12) is connected to the means (2) for generating air enriched in inert gas.15. Installation according to claim 12, characterized in that the reservoir (20) contains water.16. Aircraft provided with an installation according to claim 9.
