Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety - A Proceedings (Paperback)

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. Table of Contents Front Matter I. Summary of Workshop II. Presented Papers: Fuel and Additive Technologies III. Presented Papers: Aircraft Fuel System Requirements IV. Presented Papers: Characterizing Fuel Fires Appendix A: Workshop Participants Appendix B: New Concepts in Fuel Fire Research: Final Summary Report of Short-Term Advisory Services (STAS) Team Appendix C: Biographical Sketches of the Committee Members and Technical Consultant
