Two aspects of the fire that can occur after an aircraft crash landing were considered. Often a crash opens a hole in the cabin. Frequently, the wing damage opens a fuel tank and fuel spread on the ground catches fire. If the fire occurs below the hole in the cabin, fire gases and flames may enter the cabin and set it afire. Furthermore, after the gases enter the cabin, those gases and any generated by fire in the cabin itself flow as a non-steady ceiling jet down the length of the cabin. Finally, the nature of the fire gas flow into the cabin is influenced by whether or not and where the occupants open a door to escape.
