Engineering Disaster of TWA Flight 800

ssible solution to this problem, we recommended Boeing or any other aircraft industries to take the JP-5 Jet Fuel into the design of aircraft. We have chosen this solution instead of the other four solutions, because it does not provide any deficiency to the fuel capacity, nor would it cost as much as the other solutions. But, the main reason was that, it is the most efficient out of the four. We recognises that such design modifications take time to implement and believes that in the interim, operational changes are needed to reduce the likelihood of the development of explosive mixtures in fuel tanks. Therefore we recommend Boeing to use insulations around any heat-generating equipment. This solution should be in use until the design and manufacturing of the JP-5 technology has finished.
