Develop Transport Cabin Fire Control Partitions And Fire Suppressant Systems, Part I, Compartmentation |
| Author: |
Constantine Sarkos |
| Abstract: |
This project is a part of a general effort by the FAA to increase passenger survivability following a post-crash fire. More specifically, Part 1 of this project will determine the protection provided to passengers in a compartmented aircraft cabin from the fire hazard emanating from that part of the cabin involved in the fire. These hazards include smoke, toxic gases, high temperatures and the unpredictable flash-fire, which results from the ignition of combustible gases accumulating near the ceiling and which can severely endanger the life of passengers in safe in terms of human availability (Report No FAA-ADS-44). The effect of the following factors on the degree of protection provided by compartmentation will be studied; partition geometry, curtain length, curtain opening and simulated draft air velocities. |

Inerted Fuel Tank Oxygen Concentration Requirements |
| Author: |
Samuel V. Zinn, Jr. |
| Abstract: |
A literature search was conducted to investigate the extent of experimental work and studies that were performed for determining and evaluating safety parameters of jet fuels in aircraft tanks when using nitrogen as an inerting agent. The search revealed that extensive laboratory studies have been made during the past 30 years and that safety zones can be predicted over a wide range of conditions and environments. Except for some very early full-scale tests using aircraft fuel tanks by the Royal Aircraft Establishment, all the studies were made using laboratory equipment.
As a conclusion from this search, it is considered that an oxygen content up to 9 percent in the effluent obtained by nitrogen inerting will produce an incombustible environment. |

Chemical And Physical Study Of Fuels Gelled With Hydrocarbon Resins |
| Author: |
R.E. Erickson, R.M. Krajewski |
| Abstract: |
As gelled fuel was modified to achieve low viscosity at low shear while maintinaing signifcant resistance to fire while in the misting condition. The modified gelled fuel has been rheologically profiled using a variety of rheometers. Test data on flowability, rheological characteristics, and simulated crash fire misting hazard are included in the report. |

Development And Test Of The Explosive Exit Concept For Civil Transport Aircraft |
| Author: |
Joseph J. Jaglowski, Jr. |
| Abstract: |
The test program was performed to evaluate the liquid explosive emergency exit system reliability, performance, and hazards to personal safety when exposed to environments which might be encountered before, during and after crash. The report includes: (1) A test program to evaluate the liquid explosive emergency exit system when exposed to environment simulating conditions encountered before, during and after a crash; (2) Results of the tests; (3) Evaluation of a retaining shield in attenuating the sound level and containment of the debris produced by the detonation of the linear-shaped charge: and (4) The feasibility of adapting the liquid explosive emergency exit system use on civil transport aircraft. |
