  • Aircraft Fuel Systems
    Publication number: 20220106055
    Abstract: An aircraft fuel system includes a fuel cell adapted to contain fuel. A fuel cell receiving assembly has an inner surface adapted to receive the fuel cell. A shaped foam substrate is machined from a foam substrate to fit between the inner surface of the fuel cell receiving assembly and the fuel cell. A polyurea spray coating substantially covers the shaped foam substrate to form a fuel cell cushion. The polyurea spray coating is sprayable onto the shaped foam substrate such that the fuel cell cushion is substantially nonabsorbent of fuel. The fuel cell cushion is interposable between the inner surface of the fuel cell receiving assembly and the fuel cell to cushion the fuel cell from damage.

  • Fuel cell cushions for an aircraft fuel system
    Patent number: 10301032
    Abstract: An aircraft fuel system includes one or more fuel cells adapted to contain fuel, a fuel cell receiving assembly having an inner surface adapted to receive the one or more fuel cells and a fuel cell cushion disposed between the inner surface of the fuel cell receiving assembly and the one or more fuel cells. The fuel cell cushion is machined from a foam substrate to form a shaped foam substrate that is substantially covered with a cushion coating. The cushion coating is sprayable onto the shaped foam substrate such that the fuel cell cushion is substantially nonabsorbent of fuel. The fuel cell cushion is interposable between the inner surface of the fuel cell receiving assembly and the one or more fuel cells to cushion the one or more fuel cells from damage.
