Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety: A Proceedings

by National Research Council, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Committee on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety, et al.

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...
