The Research Foundation has been involved since the early days of the Montreal Protocol in exploring and reporting on ways to provide adequate or enhanced fire protection without ozone-depleting halons. The Research Foundation is initiating a new Research Advisory Council on Public Transportation Vehicles , including commercial airliners. The Council's mission will be to meet to review and discuss the state of knowledge regarding fire safety in such vehicles, and to make recommendations for further research and technical documentation. The entire vehicle will be of interest. Persons interested in participating are invited to submit letters of interest to the Foundation.
Participation is by invitation.
