Over the years, our business has mainly specialized in the production of fuel tanks for ultralights (ULMs – Ultra-Léger Motorisé), UAVs (Unmanned aerial vehicles) and RUASs (Rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Systems). Our flexible custom-made fuel tanks with explosion suppressant and anti-slosh foam can be installed on all types of aircraft, from ultralights and UAVs, to helicopters and certified passenger planes.
Why do qualified and structured companies or ultralight owners prefer the safety of a flexible fuel tank?
TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS
Fuel tanks for ultralight aircraft have traditionally been manufactured with the following materials:
- Welded light alloy sheet
- Fiberglass or other components
Or, they have been obtained directly from inside the wings (wet wing systems)
These solutions while economical, present considerable safety concerns:
- Poor resistance to vibrations and pressure stress
- Corrosion
- Flammability and/or explosion in accidental cases
- Osmosis through the fibres
THE SAFE CHOICE YOU CAN COUNT ON
TECNICAL FEATURES:
- Nylon fabric with nitrile rubber coating
- Tensile strength of the fuel tank wall
- Tensile strength of the joints
- Resistance to tearing
- Perforation resistance
- Resistance to dropping
- Anti-explosion and impact/drop test
- Ultralightweight materials
- Resistance to stress caused by flight (anti-slosh)
- Installation and maintenance processes are notably facilitated
