Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety: A Proceedings


Add your own review!

Overview

The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving surviability of impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approchaes, fuel flammability can overwhelm postcrash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety recently reviewed the current state of development, technological needs and technologies for new aviation fuels resistant to ignition during a crash. This text contains a summary of the workshop's discussions and 11 papers on such subjects as fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.
