CA 2413206

A fuel containment area (10), and method of forming the same are disclosed herein. A fuel containment area (10) is defined in part by a vehicle interior structure (11), such as an aircraft wing. Portions of the fuel containment area are provided with elastomeric partial bladders (17) or appliques (18) to bridge sections of the vehicle interior structure, to provide additional container integrity, and/or to segregate fuel from certain areas of the vehicle interior, e.g., about electrical components, mechanical linkages, or high temperature areas. The appliques are sealed to the vehicle interior by flexible transition joints to define a continuous, hybrid fuel container.

L'invention concerne une zone (10) de retenue de carburant et un procédé de fabrication correspondant. La zone (10) de retenue de carburant est délimitée en partie par la structure (11) propre du véhicule, par exemple, par une aile d'aéronef. Des parties de la zone de retenue de carburant sont pourvues de vessies (17) partielles élastomères ou de pièces rapportées (18) qui servent à ponter des parties de la structure interne du véhicule pour conférer un degré d'intégrité supplémentaire au réservoir et/ou séparer le carburant de certaines zones à l'intérieur du véhicule, p.ex., en raison de la présence de composants électriques, de liaisons mécaniques ou de zones à haute température. Les pièces rapportées (18) sont scellées à l'intérieur du véhicule au moyen de joints (30) de transitions souples, et ce de manière à délimiter réservoir de carburant hybride et continu.
