    Index of NAFEC Technical Reports, 1972 -1977
    Farrell, Ruth J. ;
    Boylan, Nancy G.
    1981-05-01 | PDF
    This report is an index of all technical reports which were assigned NA numbers and published by NAFEC during the period 1972 through 1977. Entries are arranged by NA number and include titles, authors and full abstracts. Separate sections contain indexes by subject, author, and RD number.
  • Effect of Thermal Radiation on the Integrity of Pressurized Aircraft Evacuation Slides and Slide Materials
    Effect of Thermal Radiation on the Integrity of Pressurized Aircraft Evacuation Slides and Slide Materials
    Brown, Louis J. ;
    Nicholas, Eldon B.
    1981-03-01 | PDF
    Seventeen full-scale fire tests were conducted to examine the effect of thermal radiation from a large fuel fire on the integrity of pressurized aircraft evacuation slides. Urethane nylon, aluminized urethane nylon, neoprene nylon, aluminized neoprene nylon, and aluminized neoprene Kevlar slides were tested at various distances from a 30-by-30-foot ...
  • Exhaust Emissions Characteristics and Variability for Pratt and Whitney JT8D7A Gas Turbine Engines Subjected to Major Overhaul and Repair
    Exhaust Emissions Characteristics and Variability for Pratt and Whitney JT8D-7A Gas Turbine Engines Subjected to Major Overhaul and Repair
    Becker, Eric ;
    Frings, Gary
    1980-09-01 | PDF
    Seven Pratt and Whitney Aircraft (PWA) JT8D-7A turbofan engines were tested at Kennedy International Airport, New York, to evaluate exhaust emissions characteristics and data variability after overhaul. The measured data show that the engines tested did not meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission standards. A comparison of the measu ...
  • Readability of SelfIlluminated Signs in a SmokeObscured Environment
    Readability of Self-Illuminated Signs in a Smoke-Obscured Environment
    Rasmussen, P.G. ;
    Garner, J.D.
    1979-11-01 | PDF
    This study investigates the ability of people with normal distant visual acuity to identify self-illuminated emergency signs in a smoke-obscured environment. The results indicate that signs whose background luminance meets or exceeds the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 25.812 are readable under favorable conditions when the total ...
  • GPSS Computer Simulation of Aircraft Passenger Emergency Evacuations
    GPSS Computer Simulation of Aircraft Passenger Emergency Evacuations
    Garner, J.D. ;
    Chandler, R.F.
    1978-06-01 | PDF
    The costs of civil air transport emergency evacuation demonstrations using human subjects have risen as seating capacities of these aircraft have increased. Repeated tests further increase the costs and also the risks of injuries to participants. A method to simulate such evacuations, by use of a computer model based on statistics from measured com ...
  • Human Respiratory Considerations for Civil Transport Aircraft Oxygen System
    Human Respiratory Considerations for Civil Transport Aircraft Oxygen System
    McFadden, E.B.
    1978-01-01 | PDF
    This report is intended to acquaint personnel involved in the design, inspection, and maintenance of civil transport oxygen systems with the human respiratory requirements and oxygen system design considerations necessary to effect an interface and provide acceptable high-altitude life support. Simplified explanations and language that should be un ...
  • AC 20100 General Guidelines for Measuring Fire Extinguishing Agent Concentrations in Powerplant Compartments
    AC 20-100: General Guidelines for Measuring Fire Extinguishing Agent Concentrations in Powerplant Compartments
    United States. Department of Transportation. Federal Aviation Administration
    1977-09-21 | PDF
    The purpose of this Advisory Circular is to describe the installation and use of a model GA-2A fire extinguisher agent concentration recorder in determining the distribution and concentration on of fire-extinguishing agents when discharged in an aircraft powerplant compartment.
  • A Protective Passenger Smoke Hood
    A Protective Passenger Smoke Hood
    McFadden, Ernest B. ;
    Reynolds, H.I.
    1967-04-01 | PDF
    Several recent jet transport accidents have focused the attention of the aviation industry upon smoke and toxic gases as causal factors of passenger incapacitation and failure to evacuate aircraft before fire and heat render the environment uninhabitable. If it were possible to provide passengers with a short duration supply of breathing air suffic ...
  • Human Factors of Emergency Evacuation
    Human Factors of Emergency Evacuation
    Mohler, Stanley R. ;
    Swearingen, John J.
    1964-09-01 | PDF
    This paper will focus on what we term the human factor in emergency evacuation.
