In this work, simple fire dynamic models for various components of an aircraft cabin fire are developed. These simple integral models can be incorporated in global zone models for aircraft cabin fires occurring in flight or caused by an impact-survivable crash. The major accomplishment of this work was the development of simple expressions for the burning of vertical walls, simulating, for example, the burning of wall panels in the fuselage. Flame heights of vertical wall fires are predicted and correlated by a simple expression. In addition, critical conditions for extinction of rapid flame spread have been investigated for fires in vertical walls consisting of charring materials, allowing for the prediction of flame spread rates.
