Design Concept For Fuel Fire Facility Scale-Down

Abstract

The objective of this study is to provide an all-weather, self- sustaining, indoor fuel-fire facility for generation of data for the evaluation of burn-protective capacity of personal gear for naval aircrewmen and flight deck personnel in full-scale fuel fire exposures. A scaled-down indoor version of the existing fuel-fire facility will provide realistic data for protective- capacity analysis. Construction of an automated enclosed facility will allow experiments to be conducted efficiently indoors in a closely controlled environment with minimal risk to personnel and surroundings and with more timely and consistent results in the analysis of data for burn protection of naval aircrewmen.
