Research abstract

Texas High Energy Materials has developed a novel fuel bladder composite technology that canĀdecrease costs and improveĀproduct quality of aircraft fuel bladders designated for MIL-DTL-271422F applications. Developments areĀnow targeting the H-1 helicopter. OurĀĀcrashworthy, ballistic-tolerant, self-sealing flexible fuel bladdersĀare versatile and easily adaptable to any geometry and platform. Durable polymers used in ourĀbladder wall construction are applied seamlessly. Eighty percent of our bladder build process is automatable,Ā minimizing variability and the need for rework. Our process is fast, efficient, and unparalleled; our flexible fuel bladders can be created in hours versus the months it takes for incumbent bladders. All materials used in the construction of our fuel bladders are available from US based companies with manufacturing facilities locatedĀin the USA.Ā
