Aerial Bulk Fuel Delivery System
Refueling with the tactical advantage.
The Aerial Bulk Fuel Delivery System Bladder (ABFDS-B) is a high-performance fuel bladder configured for in flight transport of all fuel types. The bladder may be connected to a suitable pump to supply fuel to the aircraft inflight.
The GTA-ABFDS-B tanks are constructed to meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-DTL-83833. The GTA tank is tested to 10psi and constructed to withstand 9G down and 3G laterally. The GTA tank is very light weight and features a proprietary innovative baffle system to reduce the surge during take-off and landing. The tank may be used partially full and is restrained by adjustable ratchet straps. The extreme puncture resistance of the GTA tanks and high G-loading ability give it survivability in a crash. The tank is supplied with a repair kit for immediate repairs of small and medium caliber holes.
The GTA tanks may be installed on platforms such as the Type V or directly on the aircraft floor. Tank sizes available for CH-53, MH-47, MH-60, C-130, C-17, and C-5.
