IN recent years, much attention has been given to spontaneous ignition problems because of the high skin temperatures of aircraft operating at high Mach numbers. The problem is not really new, however, since for many years aircraft engines have been operating with carcase temperatures above the laboratory closed vessel spontaneous ignition temperatures for fuels and lubricants, and installation engineers have collected a good deal of ad hoc data to justify the safety of particular power plants. FIG. 1 indicates the main risk areas for a typical subsonic by-pass jet installation.
