Aircraft Skin Penetrator and Agent Applicator. Volume 2. Test and Evaluation.

Abstract

The need for development of the tool evolved from the fact that current USAF firefighting equipment does not provide rapid access to aircraft fires occurring in airframe voids where access ports are either limited or not provided. This report covers development and construction of an aircraft skin penetrator device to provide rapid penetration and allow placement of a suitable fire suppressing agent onto the base of an aircraft fire. Volume I discusses in detail the research conducted on the development of the proposed working model of the Aircraft Skin Penetrator/Agent Applicator. The report contains photographs of the different concepts considered. Volume II has detailed drawings showing the construction of the working model Penetrator and sketches which show how the Penetrator may be used to fight aircraft fires. Originator supplied keywords include: Penetrator; Agent; Halon 1211; Trigger turn on; Retention; Functional; Plume; PMS; Mechanical drawings.
