Abstract :Since the beginning of aviation history, fire has been a serious problem for aircraft. Smoke detectors act as fire detectors in passenger aircraft serving today. In the researches, it has been observed that as a result of the high rate of false warnings given by the smoke detectors used in the aircraft, dozens of aircraft changed their planned flights and this resulted in financial losses. Within the scope of this study it is planned to use a carbon dioxide detector simultaneously with smoke detectors in order to increase the detection reliability and reduce the alarm time in case of a potential fire, and it is planned to produce a gas detector that will react to carbon dioxide gas. The samples produced were examined under the carbon dioxide gase with specified gas detecting properties, and it was concluded that they can be used simultaneously with smoke detectors in order to increase the detection reliability and reduce the alarm time with the smoke detectors currently used in today's passenger aircraft.
