| Full-Scale Air Transport Category Fuselage Burnthrough Tests |
| Harry Webster |
| This report represents the observations, test data, and _onclusions obtained during the course of six full-scale fuselage burnthrough tests. These tests were conducted at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport, Maxton, North Carolina, in conjunction with Charlotte Aircraft Corporation. A comprehensive data base was developed which represented the flammability resistance of an intact fuselage when exposed to an exterior fuel fire. Three tests were conducted with the fuselage on the ground simulating a wheels-up condition, and three tests were conducted with the wheels down.
TEST RESULTS. 1. The aluminum skin provides protection from a fully developed fuel fire for 30 to 60 seconds. 2. The fiberglass acoustical insulation is an effective thermal barrier. 3. Flame penetration into the cheek area provides a fire path into the cabin through the floor air return grills. 4. The aircraft with its gear extended is more vulnerable to burnthrough from a pool fire than an aircraft resting on its belly.5. Areas, such as the empennage crawlthrough, that are not acoustically insulated are more vulnerable to burnthrough than other parts of the insulated fuselage. |

| Full-Scale Fire Experiments: Prior Work |
| E. Nicholas |
| Earlier research at Batelle-Columbus was based on the recognition that more deaths occurred in residential fires because of anoxia and the inhalation of toxic gases than because f burns. |
