ABSTRACT:
An aircraft fuel tank subject to penetration by projectiles that is improved by virtue of being a segmented container having a frangible liner secured to one internal wall of the fuel container thereby forming an auxiliary tank. Damage caused by hydrodynamic ram effects by a projectile penetrating the main tank is minimized by the rupturing and/or distortion of the frangible liner.
