| Fuel Cell Bladders & Components for Drones, Aircraft, Missiles, UAV's & ROV's |
| ATL has been building safety fuel cell bladder tanks for 40 years and UAV/ROV bladder cells for over 20 years! |
|
ATL proudly produces flexible fuel cell bladder tanks for aircraft, drones, rotorcraft, missiles, ROV's & UAV's. These tough, light-weight flex-tanks resist motor gasoline, diesel, avgas and JP fuels including JP-8, JP-10 and JP-TS. Other bladders are available for hydrogen, propane and alcohol fuels.
ATL's fuel cell installations can be designed as ventless collapsing "diaphragms" or as vented non-collapsing "liners."
Flexible bladder materials from ATL span the range from super-light .010" (.25 mm) thickness to .040" (1.02 mm) "crashworthy" and then to .085" (2.16 mm) self-sealing variety. |
|
Modern CAD systems create soft tooling or "e-templates" which enable ATL to offer prototype bladders within 2 weeks, and ramped-up production within a month. |
 |
ATL is a proud member of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). |
