- Abstract
- The Lightweight, Aircraft Fixed, Fire-Extinguishing System met or exceeded the performance objectives of U.S. Navy, Bureau of Weapons Contract N600(10)59752 during fire tests conducted under simulated flight conditions. A test apparatus simulating the conditions in an aircraft tubine engine during flight was constructed. Fire tests were conducted using a conventional extinguishing system charged withFreon 1301. Duplicate tests were performed using the Lightweight, Fixed Fire-Extinguishing System and the results of these tests compared.
