Aircraft Integral Fuel Tank Corrosion Study

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking CITEFA (Scientific and Technical Institute of the Armed Forces) as follows. The contractor will investigate a viable maintenance process to address delamination of aged integral fuel tank coatings that will provide appropriate long term corrosion protection to the interior surfaces of the integral fuel tanks. The contractor will also deliver a prototype sensor capable of detecting the onset of integral fuel tank corrosion through either or both ionic and/or biological means.
