Abstract

This document is reissued for application to helicopters. It is primarily intended to apply to the engine or engines, but it shall also apply to fire protection of lines, tanks, combustion heaters, and auxiliary powerplants (APU). Post-crash fire protection is also discussed. PURPOSE  This design manual contains fire-prevention information accumulated on civil and military aircraft. It is presented as a service to all organizations, government agencies, and individuals interested in aviation as well as to the helicopter designer, to whom the information is specifically directed. This material has been presented in concise indexed form to serve as generalized reference material and to provide background data for the designer. It is not intended that this be considered as proposed regulatory or specification material because it borders on maximum rather than minimum required airworthiness. The AIA Manual was first published 1 August 1949. It was previously revised on 15 April 1954 and 1 December 1957 and, in that time, has been used widely as a guide by many government and civil organizations of both domestic and foreign countries in the manufacturing, operating, and educational fields of aircraft. This revision incorporates the experience of individuals from many helicopter airframe, and engine companies, and from several government agencies. The following government publications were used as a guide to fire protection requirements in preparation of this manual: A. Air Force Systems Command Design Handbook 2-3, Propulsion and Power (Ref. 1). B. U.S. Navy Specification SD-24K, "General Specification for Design and Construction of Aircraft Weapon Systems", Vol. II, Rotary Wing Aircraft (Ref. 2). C. Federal Air Regulations – Part 29 – Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Rotorcraft (Ref. 3). D. MIL-HDBK-221 (WP) "Military Standardization Handbook – Fire Protection Design Handbook for U.S. Navy Aircraft Powered by Turbine Engines" (Ref. 4).
