SIMULATED FLIGHT TEST INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A LIGHTWEIGHT, AIRCRAFT, FIXED, FIRE-EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM.

Abstract

The lightweight, aircraft fixed, fire-extinguishing system met or exceeded the performance objectives of U. S. Navy, Bureau of Weapons Contract N600 (19) 59752 during fire tests conducted under simulated flight conditions. A test apparatus simulating the conditions in an aircraft tubine engine during flight was constructed. Fire tests were conducted using a conventional extinguishing system charged with Freon 1301. Duplicate tests were performed using the lightweight, fixed fire-extinguishing system and the results of these tests compared. (Author)
