What are the Extinguishing media used on wheel well fire on aircraft?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
A wheel well fire is unique because it can be four of the five fire classes:
the tires are Class A--flammable solids
the fluids are Class B--flammable liquids
you've probably got electrical actuators in there, so you've also got a Class C--electrical--fire on your hands.
and the plane has some aluminum, magnesium and maybe titanium components; heat them up enough and you're looking at a Class D--flammable metals--fire.
What it WON'T be is a Class K--kitchen flammables--fire.
In the air you'll just use your Class ABC built-in suppression system. If you land the thing on fire, they'll use Aqueous Film Forming Foam.
