- Abstract
- Experimental tests were conducted to study the lateral and upward flame spread behavior of eight aircraft lining materials. The results are tabulated in terms of parameters useful in predicting ignition and flame spread in the presence of an ignition source under exposure to an external radiant source. Experimental and derived results are graphically compared. Derived material properties related to and indicative of the propersity to support flame spread are presented.
