Abstract

Massive fuel spill fires enveloping the fuselage of large jet aircraft may develop quickly following a crash or other accident. Under such circumstances, occupant survival time is short unless burn-through of the fuselage can be delayed. The authors propose an analytical method for determining the minimum fire area that must be extinguished in order to delay fuselage burn-through long enough to allow the occupants to escape.
