BACKGROUND(4)
Putting it all together: Composite materials are quickly
becoming integrated into aircrafts ~50% of aircraft parts are now composite
Light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistant
Fire fighting techniques quickly changing Demand for greater environmentally
friendly methods

CURRENT RESEARCH ON COMPOSITES AND FIRE
![Page 8: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CURRENT RESEARCH (1) April 2013 Boeing Fire Department
Release 50% of Boeing 787 Composite (777 had
11%) http://www.boeing.com/assets/pdf/commercial/airports/faqs/787_composite_arff_data.pdf
![Page 9: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CURRENT RESEARCH (2)
Boeing April 2013 Release: Composites do not hinder firefighting
Cutting through the Carbon Laminate Fuselage is easily accomplished
Composites do not aid in the spread of fire Composite fuselage has longer burn time than
aluminum AND transfers heat at a slower rate than aluminum
![Page 10: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FIRE HAZARDS AND UNDETECTED COMPOSITE DAMAGE
![Page 11: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FIRE HAZARDS AND DAMAGE (1)
If there is undetected damage, how does this affect fire fighting? Are their dangers when cutting through the
fuselage? Potential risks with pressure from the heat?
Heathrow incident fire burned through the carbon-fiber
How fire resistant is it really? What temperatures are we looking at? If an anomaly, perhaps undetected damage?
![Page 12: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ARE THERE UNFORESEEN HEALTH RISKS?
![Page 13: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HEALTH CONCERN (1)
The research on health risks with Carbon Composite fires suggests more research is needed Carbon fibers released into the air during
combustion Fibers contain toxic organic compounds Current research shows some fibers are small
enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs Would this number increase with longer burn times?
Higher burn temperatures?
![Page 14: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HEALTH CONCERNS (2)
Possible chemical interaction between foam and composites Not much research here Safety for both passengers and fire-
fighters Technology changes rapidly
Both foam and composites How do we quickly test and mitigate before
implementation?
![Page 15: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE ENVIRONMENT
![Page 16: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ENVIRONMENT (1)
Interaction of foam and carbon fibers Follow-on from health concern Unforeseen damage to the atmosphere?
Currently research demonstrates the environmental safety of foam
Concern lies within the rapid introduction of composites
![Page 17: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ENVIRONMENT (2)
Incineration of carbon fiber not recommended for disposal Releases small electrical conductive fibers
Can cause interference issues Success here: Company contacted me after
webinar Circuit board continued to malfunction
Found carbon fibers in circuit board Hypothesis: Fibers small enough to
incinerate from heat of board/device thus releasing electrical interference
![Page 18: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ENVIRONMENT (3)
Incineration of carbon fiber not recommended for disposal continued… Greater issues given the probable location
of the fire: Airport Fire onboard the plane: Would this pose a
potential issue when trying to contact the plane?
![Page 19: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FUTURE TOPICS TO EXPLORE
![Page 20: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FUTURE TOPICS (1)
SPACE Space travel IS our present and future
How do composites withstand atmospheric pressure changes?
Dangers involved with undetected damage Proper attire for space travel
Everyday people-MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING
Need to combine the knowledge of fashion engineers and aerospace engineers to make this happen
![Page 21: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FUTURE TOPICS (2)
SPACE Continued Fires on these newly designed shuttles
Wide open for research innovation!!! Space X, Blue Origin, and many others are
partnering with local schools to enable projects to go into space
Great opportunity to expand your research
![Page 22: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
FUTURE TOPICS (3)
Cargo Plant and animals are being viewed
differently Ensure cargo safety and care just as with
humans Australia is at the forefront of animal care
combined with travel SHRM found employees are positively impacted
by environmental efforts at workplace Carbon fiber release in fires
If plant/animal cargo inhale, what are dangers (or maybe benefits!) to humans?
![Page 23: Dr. Heather L Garten Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Garten Solutions, LLC heather@gartensolutionsllc.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551813ef550346a2318b4590/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FUTURE TOPICS (4)
Music is a mathematical marvel How can we apply this to testing
composites for damage? Already being looked into
Certain pitches are used more today than in the past three centuries
Z12 Entropy-how many times the pitch occurs Reason? Sure there is!
Sound needs a greater research outlet in all areas: Medicine, aerospace, agriculture, etc.
