FUEL GELLING FOR BALLISTIC PROTECTION OF AIRCRAFT FUEL TANKS

Abstract

Rapid gelation reactions, rapid foam-forming reactions and preformed gels have been studied as sealing materials for self-sealing fuel tanks. The rapid gelation reactions were found not to be feasible sealing materials. Rapid foam-forming reactions and some preformed gel formulations containing high concentrations of solids are feasible fuel tank sealants.
