MAT’LS FIRE TEST WG • T/A oil burner variability (nozzle, air box, airflow) – testing configurations • New (oil) burner being developed (shop air, etc.) • Burnthrough AC issued – 4 OEM’s visited • OSU/NBS R/R – being initiated • Seat oil burner R/R – being initiated • Lightweight seats – criteria developed – based on full-scale tests • Electrical wiring • Ducting – test based on RPT • Composite fuselage/structures (fire resistance)
SYS FIRE PROT’N WG • Handheld AC 20-42XX (clean agents) • Engine/cargo MPS being completed – started testing Novec 1230 • Nitrogen inerting • Fuel tank ignition reduction rule – main approach: NEA from ASM’s (membranes) • Investigating NEA use in isolated/inaccessible areas (cargo compartments, attic areas, bays, etc.) • Testing to quantify concentrations & performance • Integrated Fire Protection (IFP) R&D • Integration of on-board firefighting resources (1301, nitrogen, water, etc.) 1st: cargo compts • Lithium-ion batteries – halon controls
CSRTG • Fire & Cabin Safety Research Conference 29 Oct – 2 Nov 07, Atlantic City / www.fire.tc.faa.gov • Accident database • used to perform benefit analyses / ~3500 accidents • www.rgwcherry.co.uk • Projects… • Flammability of hidden materials (wiring, ducting, …) • Halon replacement (h/h) / new agents (Novec 1230) • ADH • Inerting of compartments (attics, bays, cargo compts) • Integrated Fire Protection (IFP) • In-flight firefighting video • Fuel cells fire safety
