Abstract:
An investigation ws conducted to determine the relative crash fire hazards of jet fuels under survivable crash conditions. Kerosene, JP-4, and mixtures of both were evaluated under various release modes (pool, drips, streams and sprays) and in the presence of possible ignition sources (electrical sparks, friction sparks. Open flames, and hot surfaces). Wind speed, wind air temperature and fuel temperatures were also varied. The results of this evaluation and the conclusions reached are discussed in the report.

Abstract:
Thus is the third time since the aviation seminar held in Dallas in 1964 that I have been honored by being asked again to speak before this distinguished gathering of Fire experts on some of the more recent activities of the FAA, in the field of aircraft fire protection conducted at its experimental center NAFEC located in Atlantic City.

Abstract:
To duplicate phenomena exhibited during exposure of a 28-foot titanium fuselage to a fuel-spill type of fire by using a small-scale laboratory test facility. To determin a sealant/insulation combination which would not flame or produce hazardous decomposition products upon heatiing, and thus enable maximum passenger protection to be derived from the fire resistance of the titanium and the heat resistance of the insulation.
