Description

This report explores improved fire-resistant materials for aircraft interiors, with the objective "to discover the fundamental relationships between the composition and structure of materials and their behavior in fires to enable the design of a totally fire-resistant cabin for future commercial aircraft." The report focuses on two principal areas: (1) identifying promising materials technologies, design issues (both overall and for individual components), and fire performance parameters (both full scale and for individual components) that, if properly optimized, would lead to improved fire and smoke resistance of materials and components used in aircraf t interiors; and (2) identifying long-range research directions that hold the most promise for producing predictive modeling capability, new advanced materials, and the required product development to achieve totally fire-resistant interiors in future air craft. The emphasis of the study is on long-term innovation leading to impacts on fireworthiness of aircraft interiors 10-20 years hence.
