The approximately 150 participants attending the Fuel Safety Workshop sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration, all made valuable contributions to the successful exchange of information. The four-day workshop, held October 29 through November 1, 1985, provided representatives from airline operations and management, manufacturers, suppliers, governments and provate sector organizations a forum to constructively review the state-of-the-art in fuel safety research. The workshop served a four-fold purpose: 1) To discuss the results from the FAA/National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID) conducted last December at Edwards Air Force Base, California; 2) To explore potential approaches to preventing post-crash aircraft fuel fires, including possible combinations of various approaches; 3) To re-evaluate past approaches in terms of current technology; and 4) to propose a course of action for future industry/government research, especially any future FAA Research and Development program. These Proceedings contain in the formal Conference presentations followed by the recommendations of the attendees as agreed upon in the three informal working breakout sessions. (Author)
