• Abstract:
  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 optimized seat configuration with adequate fire protection and minimum weight. Aluminized thermally stable fabrics were found to provide adequate fire protection when used in conjunction with urethane foams, while maintaining minimum weight and cost penalty.
