Abstract:

Twelve test garments of the Blue Flight Coverall Program were tested for fire protection in the NADC Fuel Fire Test Facility. Manikins with their surfaces sensored for temperature and dressed in the Coverall were passed through the flames fueled by JP-4 for two second intervals. The mean percentage body burned was 26.83 with a range of 4.0 and 49.5. These results are discussed in terms of the total system of protection available to the fully clothed airman. Keywords include Blue Flight Coverall, and Fire Pit Tests.
