Whether the hangar is 10,000 square feet or 400,000 square feet, ILDFA operates on a 200 GPM water supply. What this means for your project Why legacy foam systems drive cost ILDFA advantages that carry through operations Visit safespill.com or…
Installations Every day a hangar is offline is a day of lost revenue. And yet, this is often overlooked when comparing ILDFA to legacy fire suppression systems. It’s not just about the capital expense — downtime during installation can have…
Flame activated systems wait until it’s too late. Legacy fire protection systems rely on flame detectors to trigger foam discharge. But flames mean ignition has already occurred. Obstructions? Double coverage. Flame detectors require line-of-sight. That means obstacles demand redundant coverage—adding…
We’ve published a new article titled “The Risk Assessment Loophole Undermining Aircraft Hangar Safety” by Kyle Giubbini, NFPA 409 Technical Committee Principal and Safespill’s Lead Product Engineer. This article dives deep into the misuse of risk-based assessments in aircraft hangars and their impact…
Is ILDFA more expensive than High Expansion Foam (HEF)? The answer is no, according to anew white paper that uses real-world, third-party HEF installation data from a super bay hangar retrofit at SFO airport. With all costs factored in, a…

As the aviation industry shifts towards more sustainable practices, ILDFA stands out as the top-tier option for hangar fire protection with a trifecta of benefits: As we transition to a green solution, ILDFA represents the future of responsible hangar fire…
In retrofit projects, the best way to contract ILDFA is directly with Safespill. This approach ensures clear communication between the owner/end user and Safespill, allowing us to address any concerns of the aircraft maintainers working in the hangar. Contracting directly…
It is well known that water cannot extinguish a fuel fire. This is why NFPA 409 and FM Datasheet 7-93 require low level fire protection such as fire suppression foam systems or ILDFA in hangars in which fueled aircraft are…
