[0002] Aircraft with engines installed in front of the cockpit usually have a firewall between the engine compartment and the cockpit. Its purpose is to ensure that after a fire in the engine compartment, the fire will not penetrate within a specified time. For metal aircraft, the use of materials such as stainless steel plates and monel alloys can solve the fire prevention problem of the firewall. For composite aircraft, since composite firewalls cannot withstand the temperature of flames, the fire prevention design of composite firewalls is particularly important. The terminal posts that penetrate the composite firewall must not only consider fire resistance, but also its wall-penetrating sealing to ensure that after a fire in the engine compartment, smoke will not enter the cockpit through the wall-penetrating parts and affect the safety of the pilot.
