The Superfluid Helium Tanker (SFHT) design is examined for minimum up front cost, a low life cycle cost, and the maximum flexibility/adaptability consistent with the above objectives. The logic flow started with the collection and analysis of user requirements. A configuration trade-off was made to determine the baseline concept for SFHT that most nearly met all of the program objectives. The next task was to develop the baseline concept for the fluid subsystem. With this accomplished the baseline tanker was designed. The commonality task was completed and the program plan and cost estimate will be completed.
