EL CAJON, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Phyre Technologies, Inc. announced today it has received a United States patent (7,694,916) for its "Green On-Board Inert Gas Generating System" - GOBIGGS(TM) fuel tank inerting system.

British doctors say they have prevented brain injury in a baby boy who was born in critical condition by using an inert gas.

Phyre Technologies applauds the new fuel tank safety rule announced today by the Department of Transportation aimed at preventing future fuel tank explosions on commercial airlines like the 1996 TWA flight 800 disaster.

Almost nine years after Trans World Airlines Flight 800 exploded and crashed off Long Island outside New York City, the National Transportation Safety Board, the advisory agency in charge of investigating crashes, has complained to the Federal Aviation Administration that it has slowed to a crawl on changes needed to prevent a similar accident.
