Researchers Work To Reduce Post-Crash Aircraft Fires
A new additive could someday reduce the threat of jet fuel combustion during accidents.
 These demonstration photos show the relative levels of jet fuel combustion under crash conditions. Top: without the fuel additive; bottom: with the addition of the polymer additive. (Photo: Caltech/JPL)
