Description:This report describes a four phase study to identify potential fuel containment concepts for transport category aircraft. A literature survey was performed and the relative contributions from 53 documents are noted. Transport airplane data are summarized including the results from full-scale airplane crash tests and section tests. Analyses results which depict dynamic pulses are presented. Several reports including the U. S. Army Crash Survival Design Guide and the Special Aviation Fire and Explosion Reduction (SAFER) Advisory Committee are discussed in detail. Several fuel containment structural design concepts are evaluated with regard to both wing and fuselage usage. The state-of-the-art technology is summarized in this report. Included in this summary is a priority ranking of approaches. A selection of approaches is described. The selected concepts are reviewed with regard to benefit and penalties. The concepts are prioritized in order of effectiveness.
