Smoke Emission from Burning Cabin Materials and the Effect on Visibility in Wide-Bodied Jet Transports.
Abstract
A study was made of the smoke emission of cabin materials in ten major categories of aircraft interior construction under various burning conditions. Two materials in each category tested represented high to low smoke emission values. A wide-bodied cabin mockup, 2774 cubic feet in volume was used to establish correlation with the 18 cubic foot NBS-type smoke chamber. Additionally, selected materials were tested in the wide-bodied mockup to relate human visual acuity to optical density with and without ventilation flow through the mockup.
