The problem associated with flight fires in supersonic transport aircraft include most of the factors present in conventional aircraft as well as some additional problems caused part by the high temperatures produced by supersonic flight and new design concepts. The possibility that the major fuel storage areas may be in the fuselage poses problems different from those associated with conventional wing tanks. This study consists of three parts: (1) A summary of the environmental factors associated withe the supersonic transport which affect the 6ire hazard problem and the problem of fire protection; (2) A summary of existing technical data pertinent to fire hazards and fire protection and interpretations of these data in terms of the supersonic transport.
