Investigation of Proposed Reduced Preservation-Packaging Methods for Nested External Aircraft Fuel Tanks in MIL-C-9361 Containers,

Abstract

Two experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the relative effectiveness of military specification MIL-P-116 Methods IA-5 and IId. The objective was to determine whether Method IA-5 could be specified instead of Method IId for nested external aircraft fuel tanks in MIL-C-9361 containers. The conclusions of the test show that Method IId is superior to Method IA-5 when properly prepared. Also, shown was the possibility of the Method IA-5 causing more harm than good if improperly used. Therefore, the Method IId preservation-packaging requirement for storage is necessary in lieu of Method IA-5. (Author)
