A program of work is described leading to the selection of a resin system, reinforcement selection and fabrication methods for building a foldable deployable external wing tank for aircraft. The tank would be fabricated in its final configuration. After fabrication the tank would be folded, stored and shipped to the place of use. At time of use the tank would be unfolded, inflated and cured in its final configuration. (Author)
