• Abstract:
  Experiments have shown that FM-9 antimisting fuel had the potential for precluding the fine mist and associated fireball generation in aircraft post-crash situations while allowing for the restoration of the filtration and atomizing characteristics required for aircraft operation. The Federal Aviation Administration, the Aircraft Establishment, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Southwest Research Institute, and Pratt and Whitney Aircraft developed many specialized laboratory characterization tests throughout the antimisting fuel program to evaluate the antimisting properties, the degradability, the composition, and rheological properties of FM-9 antimisting fuel and the physical properties of FM-9 slurry used in the inline blending process for antimisting fuel. This report documents all the laboratory characterization tests that were successfully developed and used as a standardized test method during the program.
