Abstract:The number of thermal runaway incidents from portable electronic devices (PEDs) in the aircraft cabin is growing at a notable rate. Recent data indicates that lithium battery incidents occur on average more than once per week on passenger aircraft. In response to this problem, many airlines have adopted the use of fire containment products as a means to mitigate the spread of fire and toxic fumes. An evaluation was conducted by the FAA to assess the effectiveness of commercially available fire containment products and assess their capability to mitigate the release of smoke, flames and shrapnel produced from a PED fire.
