The links below represent almost ten years of work, and a \u201chow to\u201d guide by NADA\/F<\/em> members to outline how we successfully promoted inerting to prevent center wing fuel tank explosions such as occurred on TWA Flight 800.<\/p>\n

The FAA recognized our Dissent in 2002, and the FAA, working with the industry, did the work to develop lightweight affordable technology to lower the oxygen content with nitrogen to prevent fuel tank explosions.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the aviation professionals and NADA\/F members who made this safety technology possible!<\/em><\/p>\n
