- Identifiers
- inspection of electrical components mounted in aircraft fuel tanks has revealed sporadic evidence of silver oxide deposits formed by corrosion; deposits can lead to hot surface ignition of flammable Jet-A vapors given sufficient electrical input; experimental evidence that silver oxide deposits grown between bare wires can lead to ignition of flammable Jet-A vapors, given appropriate electrical input; goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression; deposit chemical composition
