Description
Summary:Successfully developed are two candidate coated fabrics for use in the 20,000 gallon Arctic Fuel Tank. The tank will have dielectrically heat-sealed seams having the strength of the fabric. Commercial hardware have been found to be acceptable for use in Phase II of this Program. A 3,000 gallon prototype tank has been designed of which two will be built of each successful candidate coated fabric. See also Phase 2, AD-A102 422.
