- Abstract
- The importance of achieving a balanced level of overall safety for flight and crash situations are outlined. Research and development in the area of external fire effects and occupant escape is evaluated. The crashworthiness requirements developed for the SST and the means of compliance are outlined. Cabin interior material combustion hazards are discussed. Visibility tests in a smoke filled cabin and the relative importance of toxicity effects in hindering escape are assessed.
