Aircraft post-crash fires present significant challenges for engineering analysis and safety enhancement. This study introduces As volcanic ash clouds pose significant challenges to aviation safety, particularly in frequent flight operations, effective mitigation strategies are essential. This study investigates the use of electrostatic filters to enhance flight safety in ash-polluted conditions. We evaluate the performance of electrostatic filtration systems in capturing fine ash particles and their potential to improve air quality within aircraft cabins. By simulating ash-laden environments and analyzing filter efficiency, the study demonstrates that electrostatic filters significantly reduce ash concentrations, thereby lowering risks associated with engine wear and cabin contamination. Our findings suggest that integrating electrostatic filtration technology could enable more frequent and safer flights in ash-polluted skies, offering a viable solution to maintain operational efficiency and passenger safety during volcanic events.
