Simulated bleed air impingement tests were conducted to explore the possibility that an engine bleed air leak contributed to the loss of an F-16 aircraft. A data base of the results of hot engine bleed air impinging on engine compartment walls was established for selected aircraft aluminum materials. Testing indicated the specific F-16 conditions could not have caused panel burnthrough; however, substituting other conditions did result in panel burnthrough. The results provide information which will assist in future mishap investigations. Keywords: Electrical conductivity.
