APPLICATION OF VOID FILLER FIRE PROTECTION MATERIALS TO DEAL WITH AIRCRAFT FIRE THREATS
A different approach for the reduction of fire hazards in aircraft through the use of void filling lightweight rigid foam materials and intumescent coatings and sheet materials is reported. Applications of the foams and intumescent materials as fire barriers in a variety of vital regions of several types of aircraft have been designed and evaluated. These material systems working together to combat the ravages of fire as an aircraft fire barrier are explained and their thermal performances are described. Design considerations involved in fire barrier aircraft applications are discussed.
