- Abstract
- This paper presents an overview of certain aspects ofthe evaluation of the fireworthiness of air transport interiors. First, it addresses the key materials question concerning the effect of interior systems on the survival of passengers and crew in the case of an uncontrolled transport aircraft fire. Second, it examines some technical opportunities that are available today through the modification of aircraft interior sybsystem components, modifications that may reasonably be expected to provide improvements in aircraft fire safety. Cost and risk benefits still remain to be determined.
