• Abstract:
  A series of fire tests were performed at the FAA William J Hughes Technical Center using various 40-gallons-per-minute hand line nozzle configurations fighting a 30-foot-diameter Jet-A fire. The objective of this test series was to evaluate fluorine-free foam (F3) on a larger scale than the standard MilSpec and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) tests to determine the effects different foam delivery technologies have on foam generation, performance, and dry chemical agent compatibility.
