In Russia, created a crash-resistant fuel system for helicopters

Russia's first crash-resistant fuel system (ASTS) for helicopter technology was developed by the Technodynamika holding. The first helicopter to receive this system will be the Ka-226T. This was reported by the press service of the holding.

The accident-proof fuel system developed by the holding prevents fuel leakage during emergency helicopter landings. The system includes specially designed soft fuel tanks that maintain integrity in emergency situations and special crash-resistant valves and fittings that prevent fuel leakage.



The performance of the accident-proof fuel system samples is confirmed by tests for discharge from a height of 15,2 meters. The design of the tanks passed the leak-free test. (...) can be used both on military and civilian helicopters

- said Igor Nasenkov, CEO of the Technodinamika holding, adding that this development will reduce the dependence on the supply of imported components of fuel systems.

As the press service explained, a working design documentation is being developed at the ASTS for Ka-226T helicopters. A prototype of the system to the manufacturer of the Ka-226T helicopters (Russian Helicopters) will be handed over for testing by the end of the year. In the future, it is planned to test and apply this system on other helicopters.

      Interestingly, had such systems not been installed on our helicopters before? Or were imported? hi

        Well, how would it be: "Holding" Technodinamika "for the first time in Russia has developed an Avariety
        fuel system for helicopters, made of domestic materials using domestic design, fully complying with Russian and international standards and safety requirements ..... ", whether this holding has developed such a system outside the country and from imported components is unknown.

        This "thing" has been used on the Su-25 for a long time. Apparently, it came to the turntables. One negative - the amount of fuel on board is reduced.

          On the SU-25, the tanks are rigid, filled with a porous sponge, which reduces the generation of explosive fuel vapors. And it protects exclusively from fire when ammunition gets in, but not from destruction in the event of an accident. Read the article carefully.

        This whole article is just "about nothing"! The author himself did not understand - where, from whom, something, about some know-how he heard.

        All this has already existed for the past 50 years.
        You can simply write - The first bicycle in Russia was developed by the Tekhnodinamika holding.
        The meaning is the same.
