Abstract
An aircraft flammability program was undertaken to utilize spacecraft developed fire-resistant materials to improve passenger safety and decrease losses from unattended fires in commercial aircraft. Five full-scale aircraft flammability tests were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of improved fire-resistant materials by comparing their burning characteristics with those of pre-1968 aircraft materials.
