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.
