It is a very well-known fact that the aviation sector not only brings immense benefits to communities and economies around the globe but also is a key catalyst to economic growth, social development and tourism. As we know that flying is one of the easiest and fastest forms of transport. But what happens when tragedy strikes? From human error and accidents to mechanical faults and design flaws, the success of aviation history is punctuated with disaster and catastrophe. Unlike other accidents, aeroplane accidents don’t claim the lives of the people due to their impact of the plane crash but because of the fire that spreads after the crash.

So, our aim was to design the tools and machinery which will prevent the outbreak of fire during a plane crash. In our project, we used a compound called polydimethylsiloxane which when added to the fuel increases the flash point temperature of the fuel and makes it difficult for the fuel to catch fire.

When the aircraft crashes the oil gets leaked out and it is ignited by the heat and sparks that are produced due to the aircraft body when it is rubbed against the ground. So, our method will greatly help because our aim was to increase the flash point temperature to such an extent that the heat produced due to it does not raise the temperature to an extent that it reaches the flashpoint temperature and hence the fire is prevented. This uses Artificial Intelligence which means that the program will become more precise every time it is tested and also it is used to make data 10 times larger from the initial value. It uses languages like Java and Python along with a formula to calculate the flash point of the fuel blend.

The method is very cost-effective by using Polydimethylsiloxane which can be reused as it is only used up when the plane crashes and there is a fire.

This project would be a step towards making air travel absolutely safe and saving the lives of many people who become victims of such fires.
