The burnthrough resistance of aircraft fuselages to external fuel fire was investigated in this test series. Three tests were conducted in a wheels-up mode and three in the wheels-down configuration. A comprehensive data base was developed documenting fire entry paths, burnthrough time, and cabin environmental conditions. The overall resistance of the two test intact aircraft fuselages to fire penetration was documented.
