CALCULATION OF THE STRENGTH OF CRASH-RESISTANT FUEL CELLS FOR THE WINGS OF A TWIN-ENGINE AND A FOUR-ENGINE TRANSPORT AIRPLANE
Abstract
Crash-resistant wing fuel tanks for aircraft are being studied. From previous tests, it was determined that the rubber-impregnated nylon fabric tank possesses the greatest merit for preventing fu l spillage during crashes. A method is presented by which crash-test data, obtained previously, can be applied in determini g the strength of fuel cells installed in the wings of actual aircraft. (Author)
