A crash test of a UH-1A helicopter was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a complete crash-resistant fuel, oil, and electrical system under severe accident conditions. The system included: special crash-resistant fuel and oil tanks, flexible fuel and oil lines that replaced many rigid lines, and self-sealing breakaway valves and fluid-line disconnects at strategic locations. The aircraft was flown by remote control during the crash test, in which all fuel tanks were filled with empulsified JP-4 and the engine was operating on emulsified JP-4. (Author)
