From 1989 through 1999, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted vertical and longitudinal tests of narrow-body transport fuselage sections with auxiliary fuel tanks onboard. The longitudinal tests were conducted at the Transport Research Center, Inc. in East Liberty, Ohio, and the vertical crash tests were conducted at FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey. The tests were structured to determine the impact response characteristics of typical items of mass installed onboard a transport airplane to provide a basis to assess the adequacy of the design standards and regulatory requirements for those components. This report examines airplane auxiliary fuel tanks and their affect on the impact response characteristics of an airplane fuselage. The auxiliary fuel tanks potential dynamic amplification effects on the airplanes fuselage are also investigated. The impact tests were conducted on two types of airplane auxiliary fuel tanks, a cylindrical fuel tank and a conformable fuel tank. A simulated longitudinal impact test and a vertical impact test were conducted on each tank. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the crashworthiness characteristics of a cylindrical auxiliary fuel tank and a conformable auxiliary fuel tank.
