What is it about?
Important FR fibers (FR) finished natural fibers and high-performance fibers including synthetic polyamides, carbon, and ceramic fibers), finishes (organophosphorus reagents), and fibrous structural components in aircraft are discussed. FR finishes including brominated FR with reference to recent environmental concerns are described.

Why is it important?
Fibrous material used in an aircraft may enhance the level of safety and the desired effects in producing the structural components. Aircraft accidents and loses to lives and valuable caused by fire are known in aviation history. Flammability in an aircraft as a leading cause or as a subcause may be prevented through an appropriate utilization of flame-retardant (FR) fibrous materials
Perspectives
This study is particularly conducted to appreciate how fibrous materials are useful in improving the flame retardancy and any other performance factor including safety and reduced fuel consumption in an aircraft. Air transport is significantly desired in military, civil, and commercial activities and services. The number of flight hours increased with the growing demand in air transport. Therefore, the probability of an incidence occurrence will enhance. For example, an incidence probability of 1 in million flight hours means such incidence may occur several times when number of million flight hours increased.
