Development and Test of the Explosive Exit Concept for Civil Transport Aircraft.

Abstract

The test program was performed to evaluate the liquid explosive emergency exit system reliability, performance, and hazards to personal safety when exposed to environments which might be encountered before, during, and after a crash. The report includes: a test program to evaluate the liquid explosive emergency exit system when exposed to environment simulating conditions encountered before, during, and after a crash; results of the tests; evaluation of a retaining shield in attenuating the sound level and containment of the debris produced by the detonation of the linear-shaped charge; and the feasibility of adapting the liquid explosive emergency exit system for use on civil transport aircraft.
