Download or read book Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-09-18 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.

Symposium and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conference Proceedings contains 38 papers presented at the Propulsion and Energetics Panel 73rd Symposium on 'Aircraft Fire Safety' which was held 22 - 26 May 1989 in Sintra, Portugal. The Symposium was arranged in the following sessions: Review of Fire-Related Aircraft Accidents (3); Fire Safety Standards and Research Programmes (6); Aircraft Internal Fires (9); Aircraft External Fires (2); Fire Safety of Military Weapon Systems (3); Fire Hardening by Advanced Materials and Structural Design (8); Passenger Behaviour in Emergency Situations (3); and Passenger Protective Equipment (4). The Technical Evaluation Report and and Addendum are included at the beginning of the Proceedings. Questions and answers of the discussions follow each paper. The last AGARD review on the subject took place in a Specialists' Meeting in 1975, followed by a Working Group Report in 1979 and Lecture Series in 1982. The purpose of the Symposium was a review of the present state-of-the-art and of the last improvements. Although the safety standards in aviation are already very high, there is still room for improvements. They are listed in the Conclusions and Recommendations of the Technical Evaluation Report and in the Addendum.

Download or read book Research and Technology for Aircraft Fire Protection written by Gunning T. Beery and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of high-performance, advanced aircraft introduces new problems in fire safety. Insufficient knowledge and experience exist to establish accurately the degree of hazard that results from such considerations as aerodynamic heating of surfaces, higher engine operating temperatures, restricted usage of compartment venting precedures, and the behavior of fuel liquids, mists, and vapors under a greater range of temperatures and pressures. Investigations of these problems as well as of the methods and materials for their solution are currently in progress. These programs include the following: (1) An investigation and analysis are underway to provide definite information on fuel system fire hazards of Mach 3 aircraft; the emphasis is on cool flame phenomena. (2) An analysis on the safety of jet fuels has indicated no significant, operational fire-safety advantage of a lower volatility fueld such as kerosene over JP-4. (3) An analysis of the current programs by the Federal Aviation Agency and the U.S. Army on emulsified and gelled fuels indicates that the utilization of such fuels, except for specialized applications, does not appear attractive for jet operations within the U.S. Air Force although the fire safety advantages are significant.
