Uncontained engine failures can liberate fragments that can penetrate the fuselage. In a few cases, fragments severed pressurized fuel lines in aft engine airplane configurations. The Federal Aviation Administration sponsored this effort, to test commercially available technologies that could improve aircraft safety. These tests investigated the viability of suppressing aircraft fires induced by uncontained engine failures, specifically in fuselagemounted engine configurations. Six contractors participated in the tests, providing detectors and suppressors for evaluation. A total of 55 tests were conducted with 7 suppression and 5 detection technologies. Some tests were conducted in airflow and some with actual blade fragment impacts. This report documents the results of tests conducted during July and August 2002 at the Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake, California.
