- Abstract
- A study was made of the burning characteristics of some 140 different materials for the purpose of obtaining technical data and criteria needed to support current efforts to improve existing Federal Air Regulations governing the use of cabin interior materials in aviation. Results of the tests were analyzed to indicate major flammability trends for different material classifications. Practical allowable flammability limits based on available materials technology were recommended for increasing the present fire protection requirements of interior materials.
