5、 Fuel System Design Considerations RATIONALE It has been discussed for quite some time that an industry standard is needed to outline the important considerations when developing the fuel system in a composite airplane and/or composite structure that contains the fuel system. After much consideratio
6、n, an industry working group was formed to develop this AIR. This industry working group consisted of members from major airframers, system suppliers, component manufacturers, and government agencies. FOREWORD This report is intended to give guidance for the design of modern fuel systems within the
7、context of composite fuel tanks. It is a compilation of industry references and best practices regarding fuel system design and composite structure. SAE AIR5774 Page 2 of 47 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

SCOPE This SAE Aerospace Infor
18、mation Report (AIR) is a compilation of engineering references and data useful to the technical community that can be used to ensure fuel system compatibility with composite structure. This AIR is not a complete detailed design guide and is not intended to satisfy all potential fuel system applicati
19、ons. Extensive research, design, and development are required for each individual application. 1.1 Purpose This document is intended to serve as guidance to airframe and equipment manufacturers for the design and installation of fuel systems into composite structure. This document is not intended to
20、 be a fully definitive specification, but concentrates on areas where it is felt guidance is needed. The purpose of this AIR is to compile one definitive source of the references, rules, regulations, and preferred practices for the development of a fuel system in composite structure. This AIR sets f
21、orth some useful design considerations for work with composites as it relates to the fuel system. 1.2 Background The development and installation of a fuel system in composite structure introduces a variety of design situations which are different from aluminum. The differences are related to the pr
22、operties of the composite material. As an example these may include low electrical and thermal conductivity, greater design sensitivity to penetrations, reduced shielding from electromagnetic radiation, reduced conductivity of lightning, and potential corrosion in graphite aluminum interfaces. 1.3 F
23、ield of Application This AIR applies to the aerospace industry and specifically to aircraft that use common petroleum fuels. 2.
