The evolution of aircraft structures manufacturing technology has moved the choice of solutions for fuel tanks, from welded sheet metal components to flexible rubber fuel cells up to now when airplanes manufacturers are going to address their choices, toward more extensive adoption of integral fuel tanks. The Aeritalia experience in fuel tanks construction is presented with a short view on flexible fuel tank applications (advantages and disadvantages) and the technological solutions adopted for integral fuel tanks constuction and performances quality assurance. The integral fuel tanks are designed as primary structures to sustain high loads, therefore the critical target is to obtain a leak proof structure and to guarantee no leakage for the aircraft service-life.
