摘要：	New equipment for aircraft rescue firefighting vehicles can help improve firefighting after an aircraft crash. New equipment such as a high-reach extendable turret (HRET) with skin-penetrating nozzle mounted on an airport firefighting vehicle could extinguish fires faster, apply firefighting agent more accurately on fires, and possibly save passengers lives as a result. The evaluation in this report will determine the extinguishment abilities of an HRET with skin-penetrating nozzle on simulated real fire aircraft crashes and during a full-scale fire field test. One objective of this research was to compare the abilities of an airport firefighting vehicle using an HRET to that of another vehicle using traditional airport firefighting methods of extinguishment on several real fire aircraft crash simulations. Another objective was to evaluate and determine if an airport firefighting vehicle using an HRET with skin-penetrating nozzle can control and extinguish an aircraft interior fire and reduce interior temperatures. Two different research efforts were undertaken for the described objectives. One was completed by the Air Force Research Laboratory using its fire test facility, and the second was completed at the San Antonio Airport using a training aircraft.
