  • Fire Containment Characteristics of Aircraft Class D Cargo Compartments
    Fire Containment Characteristics of Aircraft Class D Cargo Compartments
    Blake, David ;
    Hill, Richard
    1983-06-01 | PDF
    Eighteen tests were conducted in a 640-cubic foot simulated class D cargo compartment test article. Various ceiling lining materials, cargo loading configuration, air leakage rates, and fire sources were examined in an effort to determine the conditions likely to occur during a class D cargo compartment fire. The lining materials used in this proje ...
  • Analysis of Dissipation of Gaseous Extinguisher Agents in Ventilated Compartments
    Analysis of Dissipation of Gaseous Extinguisher Agents in Ventilated Compartments
    Eklund, Thor I.
    1983-05-01 | PDF
    A perfect stirrer model was used to analyze the concentration decay of extinguisher agents in ventilated compartments. The exponential decay curves were integrated over time to yield dosages. In this way, extinguisher agent weights, compartment volumes, and ventilation rates were matched against allowable agent doses to yield selection nomographs f ...
  • Crashworthiness An Illustrated Commentary on Occupant Survival in General Aviation Accidents
    Crashworthiness: An Illustrated Commentary on Occupant Survival in General Aviation Accidents
    Kirkham, William R. ;
    Wicks, S. Marlene
    1983-04-01 | PDF
    This report is an illustrated commentary on crash survival in general aviation aircraft. Photographs, drawings, and discussion present some basic concepts of crash forces; mechanisms of injury to occupants; and the roles of shoulder harnesses, lap belts, and seats in attenuating crash forces. Findings in a number of accidents relate seats and restr ...
  • Numerical Calculations of Turbulent Buoyant Flow in Aircraft Cabins
    Numerical Calculations of Turbulent Buoyant Flow in Aircraft Cabins
    Yang, K. T. ;
    Lloyd, J. R.
    1983-03-01 | PDF
    The UNDSAFE computer code is utilized to study the spread of fire and smoke in aircraft cabins due to fires located in the cabin floor. A simulation study is first made based on expected data to establish the equivalence between two-dimensional and three-dimensional parameters including fire distribution and shape, the doorway height, and level of ...
  • Optimization of Aircraft Seat Cushion Fire Blocking Layers
    Optimization of Aircraft Seat Cushion Fire Blocking Layers
    Kourtides, D. A. ;
    Parker, J. A.
    1983-03-01 | PDF
    This report describes work completed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration -Ames Research Center under Interagency Agreement No. DTFA03-A00149 for the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center. The purpose of this work was to examine the potential of fire blocking mechanisms for aircraft seat cushions in order to provide an op ...
  • Correlation of Flammability Test Data on Antimisting Fuels
    Correlation of Flammability Test Data on Antimisting Fuels
    Mahood, Levelle ;
    Talley, Robert L
    1982-12-01 | PDF
    As a part of a comprehensive FAA program to minimize post-crash fire hazards of jet transport aircraft, a correlation study was conducted on flammability test data of neat Jet A fuel, and the same fuel with various selected additives. The data were from full-scale , aircraft crash tests, large-scale fuel spillage/ignition tests, and several small-s ...
  • InFlight Aircraft Seat Fire Extinguishing Tests Cabin Hazard Measurements
    In-Flight Aircraft Seat Fire Extinguishing Tests (Cabin Hazard Measurements)
    Hill, Richard ;
    Speitel, Louise
    1982-12-01 | PDF
    This report describes the results of a test program designed to: (1) determine the amount of toxic decomposition byproducts from the use of Halon 1211 on large seat fires in an aircraft cabin while in flight; (2) compare relative hazard levels from the use of common aircraft hand-held extinguishers (Halon 1211, monammonium phosphate, carbon dioxide ...
  • Equivalency Evaluation of Firefighting Agents and Minimum Requirements at US Air Force Airfields
    Equivalency Evaluation of Firefighting Agents and Minimum Requirements at U.S. Air Force Airfields
    Geyer, George B. ;
    O'Neill, John
    1982-11-01 | PDF
    An evaluation of selected aircraft firefighting agents was made, both blanketing and auxiliary, and of dispensing equipment. Laboratory studies and outdoor fire tests were conducted to ascertain the fire extinguishing equivalency of the auxiliary agents and to determine the most acceptable agents and equipment for use in performing large-scale fire ...
  • An Assessment of Correlations Between Laboratory and FullScale Experiments for the FAA Aircraft Fire Safety Program Part 4 Flammability Tests
    An Assessment of Correlations Between Laboratory and Full-Scale Experiments for the FAA Aircraft Fire Safety Program, Part 4: Flammability Tests
    Quintiere, James G.
    1982-07-01 | PDF
    A review is made of studies in which full-scale fire growth was compared with laboratory test data on materials. Both room and corridor fires are included in which primarily interior lining materials have been the combustible element. The studies include standard test methods and other laboratory devices used in the United States and other countrie ...

    Dayton Aircraft Cabin Fire Model, Version 3, Volume II - Program User's Guide and Appendices
    MacArthur, Charles D.
    1982-06-01 | PDF
    Version 3 of the Dayton Aircraft Cabin Fire Model (DACFIR) has been created as a refinement and generalization of earlier mathematical models for the computer simulation of fire growth in the cabin of a commercial transport airplane. The model uses data from laboratory tests on the cabin furnishing materials and a zone (control volume) representati ...

    Study of Hand-Held Fire Extinguishers Aboard Civil Aviation Aircraft
    Krasner, Lawrence M.
    1982-06-01 | PDF
    A study of hand-held fire extinguishers aboard civil aviation aircraft involved a detailed survey of the past, current and potential use of hand-held extinguishers in civil aviation. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in conjunction with numerous on-site visits to a wide spectrum of users and manufacturers within the United States. Dat ...
  • Examination of Aircraft Interior Emergency Lighting in a Postcrash Fire Environment
    Examination of Aircraft Interior Emergency Lighting in a Postcrash Fire Environment
    Demaree, James
    1982-06-01 | PDF
    This report describes the effectiveness of emergency interior lighting in a wide-body aircraft test fuselage subjected to elevated temperatures and dense smoke generated by an external fuel fire and interior materials fire. Photometric measurements show significant smoke stratification. The dense smoke at the ceiling can reduce the effectiveness of ...

    1982-04-01 | PDF
    This report describes a laboratory test method and the modeling of the resultant data to produce a means of ranking aircraft cabin materials for the combined hazards produced in a survivable post-crash fire. Ranking is based on reducing each hazard accumulating in a cabin during a 5-minute crash fire scenario to the common denominator of a passenge ...

    Alpert, R. L. ;
    Mathews, M. K.
    1981-10-01 | PDF
    The pressure modeling technique is used to study fire spread under five different ceiling materials and analytical and numerical techniques are used to compute thermal radiation to floor level from the resultant layer of hot gases near the ceiling. In the physical modeling part of the study, measurements are obtained at one atmosphere (full-scale) ...
