Hello all, I saw a documentry on Discovery the other day about the early (well, not so early) testing of car fire in a rear ended collision. The results were just unbelievable by today's standards. Fuels spilling all over and causing huge consuming fires in the passenger compartments. The car industry solved that problem by putting a rubber liner inside the fuel tanks and the spillage was bad only in the really bad accidents.
I haven't read about or seen anyone do the same in experimental aircrafts. Post crash fires are a reality that we plan for as pilots, but is it possible for us to prevent them as builders? Any KRs out there with some inbuilt safety systems against this? On another note, can someone from the Los Angeles and surrounding area contact me off the krnet at ameetsav...@yahoo.com ? Hope ya'll have a great 4th! Ameet Savant Omaha, NE __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
