Abstract
A self-sealing flexible fuel tank is characterised by inclusion in the tank walls of a layer 16 of energy-absorbent material. This layer is positioned externally of a self-sealing layer 13 of fuel- activated swellable material and may be a multi-cellular material such as a semi-rigid plastics foam material or a reticulated structure which may comprise melded polymeric fibres. The exemplified tank wall comprises an inner lining 11 of fuel-resistant nitrile rubber, a layer 12 of woven nylon fabric, a layer 13 of fuel activated natural rubber sponge, a nylon fabric 14 rubberised with nitrile rubber, a fuel resistant lacquer 15, a polyvinyl chloride foam energy absorbent layer 16 and a layer 17 of rubberised nylon fabric. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Self-sealing flexible fuel tanks
Description of invention
This invention relates to self-sealing flexible fuel tanks.
Self-sealing flexible fuel tanks, such as are generally used in aircraft, are known. The self-sealing capability is provided by a fuel-activated swellable material, for example a blown natural rubber sponge material, which is incorporated as one of the layers
of material making up the fuel tank walls. In the
event that the wall of the tank is penetrated by a
projectile or other object, fuel leaking through the
resultant wound attacks the fuel-activated material, causing it to swell up and seal the wound. However,
a large projectile or object, particulalry if it is tumbling when it penetrates the tank wall, will take
out a core of tank wall material that results in a hole
of a size that is beyond the sealing capability of the fuel-activated material.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a
seal-sealing flexible fuel tank including means for
reducing coring of a wall of the tank should it be
penetrated by a large projectile or other object.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a
seal-sealing flexible fuel tank comprised by tank walls including at least one self-sealing layer of fuel-activated swellable material and having a layer
of energy-absorbent material positioned externally
of the or each said self-sealing layer so as to form an
integral part of said tank walls.
The energy-absorbent material may be a multi
cellular material such as a semi-rigid plastics foam
material such as a blown polyvinyl chloride foam.
Alternatively, the energy-absorbent material may
have a reticulated structure which may comprise
melded polymeric fibres.
Atypical laminated wall construction for a self
sealing flexible fuel tank in accordance with the
present invention comprises an innertankwall lining formed by a layer of fuel-resistant nitrile rubber, a
layer of woven nylon fabric, a layer of fuel-activated
self-sealing blown natural rubber sponge material, a further layer of woven nylon fabric which is rubberised with fuel-resistant nitrile rubber and coated with a fuel-resistant lacquer, a layer of energy
absorbent material, and an external layer of woven
nylon fabric rubberised with fuel-resistant nitrile
rubber, said layers being bonded together by a fuel-resistant adhesive.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an ex
plosed transverse cross-section through part of a
wall of a self-sealing flexible fuel tank in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
The method of manufacturing a self-sealing flexi
ble fuel tank is well known to those skilled in the art
and will not here be described in detail. In transverse
cross-section a wall 10 of a fuel tank (not shown in full) comprises an inner tank wall lining of fuel
resistant nitrile rubber 11 to the outer surface of which is bonded a layer of woven nylon fabric 12.
The nylon fabric 12 acts as a supportforthe nitrile rubber lining 11 and substantially reduces or prevents tearing of the rubber when it is penetrated by an object. A layer 13 of fuel-activated self-sealing blown natural rubber sponge material is bonded to the nylon fabric layer 12. In the event of the tank wall being penetrated by an object the exposed edges of the natural rubber sponge layer 13 surrounding the wound will be attacked by fuel leaking from the tank and the material will swell up so as to seal over the wound. A further layer of nylon reinforcing fabric 14 rubberised with nitrile rubberforfuel protection is bonded to the natural rubber sponge layer 13, and is coated with a fuel-resistant lacquer 15.Thus far the construction of the tank wall 10 is similar to the construction of a wall of a conventional self-sealing flexible fuel tank.
In accordance with the present invention an energy-absorbent layer, in this case of blown polyvinyl chloride foam sheet, 16 of suitable thickness, is bonded to the external surface of the fuel tank wall 10 using a fuel-resistant adhesive. A layer of nylon fabric 17 rubberised for fuel protection is then bonded to the external surface of the layer of energy-absorbent material 16. Should the tank wall 10 be penetrated by a large calibre projectile or other object, particularly if it is tumbling when it strikes the tank wall, the layer of blown polyvinyl chloride foam sheet 16 will absorb some of the energy of the projectile or object so that coring of the tank wall 10 will be substantially reduced as compared with the penetration of the equivalent tank wall not including the energy-absorbent layer 16.Thus the area of the wound in the tank wall will be reduced and in many cases be kept within limits that are within the sealing capability of the natural rubber sponge layer 13 as it is activated by leaking fuel and swells up across the wound.
In a non-illustrated embodiment of the invention the energy-absorbent layer comprises a reticulated structure formed of melded polymeric fibres. One such suitable material is that sold by Imperial
Chemical Industries Limited under their Trade Mark "ATOMEL". This is a lightweight three-dimensional material composed of melded polyester fibres. The material is both tough and compressible but exhibits anisotropic resilience, having maximum resilience in the plane of the sheet or blanket in which it is produced. When used to provide the energyabsorbent layer in the wall of a tank in accordance with the invention it is preferably so arranged as to provide the layer with maximum resilience in the direction of its thickness. Thus the layer is preferably of the so-called "stack-bonded" configuration, consisting of a number of strips cut from the sheet and bonded in a stack so as to produce a layer the thickness direction of which corresponds to the plane of the sheet from which the strips were cut and which thus exhibits the maximum resilience of the material in the direction of the thickness of the layer.
