GKN Aerospace - ecologically improved single-skin crashworthy material for aircraft fuel bladders

As part of an initiative to reduce and remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from fuel tank manufacturing processes, engineers and scientists at GKN Aerospace in Portsmouth, UK, have developed the first single-skin flexible fuel bladder material that is able to offer crash resistance and puncture tolerance. The Company will launch this new development at Heli-Expo in Houston, Tx, this month with a display of the material on the Company's stand.
