What is the disadvantage of bladder fuel tank?(a) Loss of available fuel volume(b) Self sealing(c) No loss in fuel volume(d) Thrust loadingThis question was posed to me in my homework.Query is from Fuel System in chapter Propulsion and Fuel System Integration of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Loss of AVAILABLE fuel volume

The best I can explain: A typical BLADDER TANK is formed by stuffing a shaped rubber bag into a cavity in the aircraft structure. However, the thick rubber bag results in the kids of available fuel volume. Self-sealing property is ONE of the advantages of the bladder tank. THRUST loading is the ratio of thrust to weight.
