  • Title: Rocket plume burn hazard.
    Author: Stoll AM, Piergallini JR, Chianta MA.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1980 May; 51(5):480-4. PubMed ID: 7387571.
    Abstract:
    By use of miniature rocket engines, the burn hazard posed by exposure to ejection seat rocket plume flames was determined in the anaesthetized rat. A reference chart is provided for predicting equivalent effects in human skin based on extrapolation of earlier direct measurements of heat input for rat and human burns. The chart is intended to be used in conjunction with thermocouple temperature measurements of the plume environment for design and modification of escape seat system to avoid thermal injury on ejection from multiplace aircraft.
