Description of the Book:

F-86 droppable fuel tanks, fitted with reticulated polyurethane foam and filled to capacity with JP-4 fuel, were drop tested and catapulted to test the effectiveness of the foam in reducing fuel spray and leakage at impact. Also, structurally reinforced DC-7 integral wing tanks were impacted against an upright beam restrained by a steel shear pin to limit the loads. The forward spar caps were strengthened with aluminum alloy doublers and chordwise stiffeners to determine the effect of structural modifications on the crashworthiness of the structure
