LATTICE STRUCTURE CUSHIONS FOR AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEMS

Abstract:

An exemplary cushion for a fuel system is constructed of a lattice structure formed of a material that is substantially nonabsorbent of fuel and has a network of nodes and beams defining cells, an exterior surface of the lattice structure is configured to be oriented toward a fuel cell and an interior surface of the lattice structure is configured to fit to a mounting surface.
