ATL proudly produces flexible fuel cell bladder tanks for aircraft, drones, rotorcraft, missiles, ROV's & UAV's. These tough, light-weight flex-tanks resist motor gasoline, diesel, avgas and JP fuels including JP-10 and JP-TS. Other bladders are available for hydrogen, propane and alcohol fuels.

ATL's fuel cell installations can be designed as ventless collapsing "diaphragms" or as vented non-collapsing "liners."

Flexible bladder materials from ATL span the range from super-light 0.25 mm (.010") thickness to 1.02mm (.040") "crashworthy" and then to 2.16mm (.085") self-sealing variety.

Modern CAD systems create soft tooling or "e-templates" which enable ATL to offer prototype bladders within 2 weeks, and ramped-up production within a month.

See some examples of our aircraft products below.

 

ATL has been building UAV/ROV bladder cells for over 20 years, our cells feature:

  • Fully collapsible for easy installation/removal
  • Available in any size, geometry, or material
  • Electronically templated; Near zero tooling cost
  • Light weight and thin-walled for greater fuel capacity
  • Total fuel scavenging options
  • Low fuel diffusion rate; can surpass Mil-T-6396E
  • CAD/CAM production for accuracy and reproducibility
  • Light weight composite fittings and flanges
  • Resistant to Avgas, Mogas, JP4, 5, 8, 10; Jet A, B; Kerosene,
    Bio-Ethanol E10, Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Bio-Butanol B10 and Bio-Jet
  • Baffles, vent valves, quantity gauges, drains, collectors etc. fully integrated
  • General Atomics Predator Award for Quality and On-time delivery
  • Can serve as secondary fuel containment if wing or fuselage is cracked or punctured
  • Immune to shock, impact, vibration, launching, retrieval and hard landings
  • Operates to 60,000 ft. within temperatures of 200°F (95°C) and
    -60°F (-50°C)
  • Modest cost, long life, low-to-zero maintenance
  • Safety foam explosion-proofing system option

 

 

ATL are able to produce custom cells for many types of aircraft, including helicopters and historic aircraft such as Spitfires. ATL fuel cells can be designed for a precision geometric fit for location within existing fuel tanks or into wing bays.
