This specification covers the requirements and verification testing for crash-resistant, ballistic-tolerant fuel cells for use in fixed wing and rotary-wing aircraft (including tilt rotor). Exact design criteria such as fuel cell dimensions, total weight, and interface requirements will be dependent upon the intended aircraft specified in the contract or purchase order.Intended Use: Self-sealing and non-self-sealing fuel cells manufactured under this specification are intended for use in fixed wing and rotary wing (including tilt rotor) as a means for carrying aircraft fuel (including aromatic constituents) under all prescribed operating conditions. Additionally, fuel cells manufactured under this specification will be used to prevent, under the gunfire conditions specified herein, an excessive loss of fuel and provide a significant reduction in post crash fires.
