Gunfire Effectiveness and Environmental Suitability of Void Filler Materials
Abstract
Gunfire tests, using high-speed fragments, 50 API, and 23MM HEI projectile threats, and environmental tests were conducted on a variety of candidate void-filler materials to : (1) determine the effectiveness of these void filler materials in preventing fires in the dry bays surrounding F-15 fuselage fuel tanks when these tanks are impacted by enemy threats, and (2) deter- mine the environmental suitability of these materials for permanent installation in the F-15. Two materials manufactured by the Scott Paper Company, Scott White and Charcoal Polyether Polyurethane foams, were both found to be highly effective as void filler materials in preventing fires, and were both found to be environmentally suitable for permanent installation in the F-15.
