Title: The Extinction of Fires in Aircraft Jet Engines - Part I, Small Scale Simulation of Fires
Author: R. Hirst
Abstract: Three modes of combustion are possible in an aircraft engine fire, and these have been simulated separately in a small wind tunnel.
Report: FSR-0370 Pages: 12 Size: 412 KB
Title: The Extinction of Fires in Aircraft Jet engines - Part II, Full-Scale Fire Tests
Author: R. Hirst
Abstract: Tests indicate that the degree of vaporization of methyl bromide influences its efficiency as an extinguishing agent.
Report: FSR-0369 Pages: 10 Size: 295 KB
Title: The Extinction of Fires in Aircraft Jet Engines - Part III, Extinction of Fires at Low Airflows
Author: J.H. Dyer
Abstract: Minimum concentrations of methyl bromide and nitrogen that will ensure the extinguishment of the most stable liquid surface diffusion flame burning behind a flame holder have been determined.
Report: FSR-0368 Pages: 14 Size: 254 KB
Title: The Extinction of Fires in Aircraft Jet Engines - part IV, Extinction of Fires by Sprays of Bromochlorodifluoromethane
Author: J.H. Dyer
Abstract: The extinction of a liquid surface diffusion flame of kerosene burning air has been studied using sprays of bromochlorodifluoromethane produced by swirl-type nozzles.
Report: FSR-0367 Pages: 9 Size: 302 KB
Title: The Feasibility Of Improved Fire Protection For Aircraft Occupants
Author: L.C. Virr
Abstract: The aviation accidents, involving fire, there is evidence that many of the fatalities arise as a result of people being overcome by smoke and toxic fumes rather than by the direct fire threat. Incapacitation disorientation has prevented them from evacuating the aircraft before conditions become unsurvivable.
Report: FSR-0422 Pages: 8 Size: 155 KB
