FIBER OPTICS HAZARD IDENTIFICATION DEVICE.

Abstract

This report describes the work done over a period of three years to develop a fiber optics fire hazard detection system for aircraft installation. The distal end of this system which is located within the engine compartment is capable of withstanding temperatures of 1000F, whereas the rest of the system is capable of withstanding temperatures to 500F. During the course of the program, a number of fabrication techniques were developed and high transmittance glasses were evaluated for transmission and strength. In addition to this work, a fire simulator was developed, and this may be mounted within the engine compartment. (Author)
