The goal of the Federal Aviation Administration's Fire Research Program is to eliminate fire as a cause of death in aircraft accidents. The Fire Research Program is a long-range research effort which includes advanced materials in a systems approach to improved aircraft cabin fire safety along with fire prevention, detection, and control. The objective of the Advanced Fire-Safe Materials portion of the program is to discover the fundamental relationships between the composition and structure of materials and their behavior in fires to enable the design of a totally fire-resistant cabin for future commercial aircraft. Research focuses on synthesis, characterization, modeling, and processing of new materials and materials combinations to improve the fire performance, increase the functionality, and reduce the cost of next-generation cabin materials.
