Description:
Report presenting an investigation of the hazard of igniting airplane crash fires by electrostatic sparks, which are generated when detached airplane parts fly through clouds of dust and fuel mist. Within the limits of variables studied, the rates with which airplane wreckage collected a charge were directly proportional to the rate at which clay dust or fuel mist was intercepted. Results regarding the experimental charging of airplane parts, electrostatic ignition hazard, and investigation of …
