The purpose is to describe a new concept in aircraft fuel tank design to reduce the spillage from an aircraft fuel tank which has been ruptured during what could be considered a survivable crash. The time element is very critical for survival after a crash. By reducing the amount of fuel spilled during the first minute after the aircraft comes to rest, the probability of passenger survival can be greatly enhanced.
