This report summarizes activity performed in support of the FAA's Fuel Containment research program. A review was made of previously performed pretest analysis and longitudinal test results for a double-wall cylindrical auxiliary fuel tank. A review was made of the Auxiliary Fuel System Installation Advisory Circular. Available data from recent, pertinent transport category airplane accidents and full-scale crash test results were discussed for their relevance to the Fuel Containment research effort. The fuel tank/airframe installation was defined for the next series of longitudinal- and vertical-impact tests. The outline of a proposed semiempirical procedure was developed. The procedure's potential would be for use in evaluating fuselage- auxiliary fuel tank installations under dynamic loading utilizing available and pending test data.
