- Title
Overcoming Barriers of Magnesium Ignition and Flammability.
- Authors
Czerwinski, Frank
- Abstract
The article discusses how the use of magnesium in commercial aircraft cabins is being reevaluated to save weight and reduce flammability. According to the author, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other aerospace specification committees are reevaluating the ban on magnesium use inside commercial aircraft cabins. The author adds that significant improvements in weight savings and durability within airframe structures could be achieved through composite materials.
