This report describes results obtained utilizing a full- |
|
scale, wide- body test article for studying postcrash |
|
cabin fire hazards produced by an external fuel fire |
|
adjacent to a cabin door opening. Seventy-two tests were |
|
conducted at various ambient wind conditions and fire |
|
sizes in a fire-hardened cabin devoid of interior |
|
materials. This work was the first phase of a study to |
|
realistically characterize postcrash cabin fire hazards. |
|
Temporal data, taken at a large number of cabin |
|
locations, are presented and discussed pertaining to the |
|
effect of ambient wind on the rate of hazard accumulation |
|
inside of the cabin; stratification of heat, smoke, and |
|
toxic gases; the effect of fire size of thermal radiation |
|
through the opening; and the relative importance of heat, |
|
smoke, and carbon monoxide in a fuel-dominant fire. It is |
|
concluded that major stratification of hazards occurs in |
|
the cabin when the hazards are created by an external |
|
fuel fire, and that ambient wind determines the amount of |
|
hazards entering a cabin due to a given external fuel |
|
fire. |
