Nomex is another aramid fiber Kevlar and Nomex differ only in that the substitution pattern in the aromatic rings is para in Kevlar but meta in Nomex Nomex is best known for its fire resistant properties and is used in protective clothing for fire fighters astronauts and race car drivers... 

Hydraulic fluid resistance makes fluorosihcones the preferred military aircraft choice for the manufacture of the flexible bellows (12) between the hydraulic fluid reservoir and the suction pump on Northrop Corp. s T-38 trainers and T-5 fighters. Its use allows for fluid continuity during normal and inverted flight attitudes. 

The first large-scale use of hydrazine was as fuel for the rocket-powered German ME-163 fighter plane during World War II. Production in the United States began in 1953 at the Lake Charles, Louisiana plant of the Olin Corp., a facility then having a capacity of 2040 metric tons. In 1992 world capacity was about 44,100 metric tons N2H4. 

BeryUium is important as a sensor support material in advanced fire-control and navigation systems for military heflcopters and fighter aircraft utilizing the low weight and high stiffness of the material to isolate instmmentation from vibration. It is also used for scanning mirrors in tank fire-control systems.

Epoxide resin laminates are of particular importance in the aircraft industry. It has been stated that the Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft use 1800 kg of carbon fibre/ epoxide resin composites for structural purposes per aeroplane. The resin has also been used with Aramid fibres for filament-wound rocket motors and pressure vessels. The AV-18 fighter aircraft is also said to be 18% epoxide resin/cc bon fibre composite. The resins are also widely used both with fibres and with honeycomb structures for such parts as helicopter blades. 

The special precautions appropriate for entry into confined spaces are summarized in Chapter 13. In fires, evacuation of burning buildings, prohibition on re-entry and the use of self-contained breathing apparatus by fire-fighters are key precautions. 

The Mosquito was made almost entirely of wood and for that reason was nearly canceled by the British before it was even built wood aircraft were viewed as fragile and slow based on the previous 40 years of aerospace history. Fortunately the designers of the Mosquito were able to overcome this bias and the Mosquito went on to become one of the best-performing fighter/bombers of the war. 

The military has historically led the way in the development and application of adhesive bonding on aircraft. This practice continues today, primarily with bombers, fighter and attack aircraft where weight is a critical consideration, but also with support craft such as reconnaissance aircraft and freighters. 

Because of this continued emphasis on adhesive bonding technology development over the years, the airframes of modem front-line aircraft such as the B-2 bomber and the F-117 and F-22 fighters are largely structurally bonded advanced composites. They tend to be comprised of materials that are more advanced (expensive) than commercial aircraft such as carbon and boron fiber reinforcements with cyanate esters, bismaleimides, polyimides or other high-temperature resin matrices and adhesives. 

On-Site Emergency Responder 29 CFR 1910.120 (q) or state mandate Personnel from outside DOE site who respond to an emergency on the DOE site. Includes local fire fighters. HAZMAT teams, etc. Practice and drills as necessary. 

Fire hazards are minimized by minimum inventories of chemicals. Control or miniini/e ignition sources, provide a confining area, reduce the temperature of the material as much iis possible, blanket the material to eliminate air contact. Have available fire protection equipment breathing apparatus, and protective clothing for the fire fighters. Use several hour fire walls to prevent the spread of fire to other process areas. 

The idea for the turbojet did not come to Whittle suddenly, but over a period of some years initially while he was a final year flight cadet at RAF Cranwell about 1928 subsequently as a pilot officer in a fighter squadron and then... 

The B-2 stealth bomber in Figure 1-38 is made by Northrop Grumman. Virtually all external parts are made of various composite materials because of their radar-absorption characteristics and/or their capability to be formed to shapes that naturally lower the radar cross section of the plane. However, the details are not publicly available, nor are they for the Lockheed Martin F-117A stealth fighter. 

The fundamental objective in this section is to describe the factors and procedures to select the right material for a specific structural application. The right stuff for a material, as for a fighter pilot or an astronaut, is a complex combination of characteristics. To select the proper material requires being able to characterize and evaluate various composite materials (or metalsl) and to compare their attractive characteristics with the behavioral features required for a particular structure. Finally, a materials selection example of a space truss design problem will be addressed. 

The fire department was called. In an attempt to rescue him, the fire fighters started to cut an opening in the side of the tank. The tank exploded, killing one fire fighter and injuring 15 others. The man who had entered the tank also died, probably from asphyxiation [24].
