Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety : A Proceedings Paperback / softback
by National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, National Materials Advisory Board, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Committee on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety
Paperback / softback
Description
The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents.
Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios.
The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash.
This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.
