Sorry, powder will also not stay put at flight speed. You have to have 
something that will push out and replace the oxygen and keep it that way. All 
these things that were mentioned are used in a house  or garage fire, a car 
fire if the car is standing still. Why do firefighters lose any progress made 
when a wind picks up? For a guy in a cockpit, that wind comes from airspeed 
and it won't stop until you've landed. I mentioned foam - it can't be the 
water-foam combination that you get in a house extinguisher. It's too fluid 
and will disperse quickly. It has to be persisitent, keeping its volume, being 
somewhat sticky and not flowing easily - like the stuff they use on 
aircraft crashes. As I said, talk to the professional fire guys, better yet, 
aircraft firefighting professionals. 

I'm glad this came up, because it did not cross my mind either until now.   
              

Bernie.
