Crashworthiness of Safe Fuels [PDF]
ASME 1972 International Gas Turbine and Fluids Engineering Conference and Products Show, 1972 Safety fuels such as emulsified and gelled fuels have been studied over the past several years as one means for reducing the post-crash fire hazard associated with aircraft accidents. However, through the work described herein, only recently has a quantitative evaluation been made to characterize the safety performance of these fuels.
