This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) includes general information about the various types
and styles of flexible tanks and the tank-mounted fittings that adapt the tank to the surrounding
structure and fluid-system plumbing.
Recommendations are given relative to the dimensional layout of the tank when these
recommendations serve to avoid tank fabrication problems and tank/structure interface problems.
As a part of these recommendations, critical dimensions of plumbing adapter fittings are discussed
and recommendations made. Tank manufacturing tolerances are given.
Recommendations are made relative to cavity design and preparation to facilitate a reliable
installation.
The special installation requirements of nonself-sealing, self-sealing, and crash-resistant tanks are
discussed.
This document is not intended to replace the information or requirements of the military and
commercial procurement specifications listed in Section 2. No attempt has been made, except in a
very general way, to include physical property data such as weight and thickness of the composite
materials available in the industry. Such materials are too numerous and vary too much between
manufacturers.
Whenever specific data or advice is required, it is necessary that the tank manufacturers be
consulted.
1.1 Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to supply aircraft fluid-system designers with baseline
information pertinent to the application of flexible, removable tanks for power plant fluids without
regard to the fluid in the tank.strRefField
