Abstract:

This report addresses the potential consequences of the impact and penetration of fuel tanks by debris from uncontained engine failures on commercial jet aircraft. The report presents a brief review of accident data and of the pertinent technical literature, a detailed analysis of in-tank ignition by hot fragments, and parametric calculations using a computer code for hydrodynamic ram. The results suggest that in-tank fire and hydrodynamic ram can be produced by engine debris, though their expected probability of occurrence is very low.
