Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a flexible composite structure configured to form, in the deployed state, a device for retaining fuel of an aircraft, this retention device incorporating said structure being configured to be mounted inside and away from a wall of a tank of an aircraft containing the fuel, this tank and this aircraft. The structure (9) is such that, if the wall is perforated, the retention device retards or reduces the fuel leak from the tank, the structure being configured so that the outer surface (Se) is mounted in the immediate vicinity and along the contour of the wall, the structure comprising an elastomer body (9A) made of a rubber composition and a reinforcing frame (9B) embedded in the elastomer body. According to the invention, the structure (9) further comprises a fireproof frame (9C) that is embedded in the elastomer body away from the reinforcing frame, the rubber composition being based on at least one fluorosilicone rubber.
A flexible composite structure (9) configured to form, in the deployed state, a retention device (8) for retaining fuel of an aircraft (1), the retention device (8) being mounted inside and away from a wall (6) of a tank (5) of an aircraft (1) containing the fuel, so that the retention device (8) retards or reduces the fuel leak from the tank (5) if the wall (6) is perforated,
