- Eight (8) patents
have been filed on fire resistant materials and technology developed
by the FAA or through FAA-sponsored research during the first
two years of the program.
- An Interagency
Working Group on Fire and Materials has been created in which
40 government agencies meet semi-annually to share research results
and information. An M.O.U. has been signed. The group is FAA-chaired.
- Published National
Research Council Study on Improved Fire- and Smoke-Resistant
Materials for Commercial Aircraft Interiors (NMAB-477-1, 1995)
- Formed university-government-industry
consortium on Fire Safe Aircraft Materials at U. of Mass., Amherst.
Several Fortune 100 companies (including Boeing) contributing
directly to FAA program to share research costs.
- Joined EPIC (university-government-industry)
Consortium at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.

(4) FAA sessions on New Developments in Fire Resistant Polymers
at Society of Plastics Engineers Annual Technical Conference,
Indianapolis, IN, May 1996.
- Three (3) sessions
on Fire Safe Materials at Society for the Advancement of Materials
and Process Engineering (SAMPE) International Symposium, Anaheim,
