FIRE TESTING IN THE BOEING 707 CABIN SECTION
E. A. TUSTIN
For the FIREMEN Program Review April 13, 1978
ABSTRACT
The goal of a FIREMEN funded contract is the definition of a laboratory test
method ranking airplane interior materials by probable performance in post-
crash and in-flight fires. A major task is the relation of laboratory results
to full scale data. A large scale test facility for testing materials to the
thermal threat of fuel fed and interior fires has been developed with quartz
lamps and a propane burner in a twenty foot fuselage section. A method has
been developed to analyze full scale data for the apparent heat, smoke and toxicant
release rates of the material tested.
