Fire and evacuation analysis in BWB aircraft configurations: Computer simulations and large-scale evacuation experiment
This paper won the 2011 bronze award for best paper to appear in the RAeJ. The work was widely publicised in the technical press (Flight International, The Engineer). The paper was the culmination of two projects EU FP 5 project VELA (GRD1-2001-40140) and EU FP6 IP NACRE (AIP4-CT-2005-516068) and lead to a new EU FP7 project AIRCRAFTFIRE (contract 265612) concerned with fire/evacuation analysis in new composite aircraft. The work has been applied to three aviation design projects associated with evacuation, a B747 VIP aircraft (Gulfsteam Aerospace, s_locatelli@hotmail.com), the new C-Series regional-jet (Bombardier antonio.damore@aero.bombardier.com) and a new concept jet (Bombardier ben.pownall@aero.bombardier.com).
