Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fuel tank in which it is possible to reduce working hours or cost in a manufacturing process and prevent an increase in weight in, a main wing, an aircraft fuselage, an aircraft, and a mobile body. The fuel tank is provided with a structural member using carbon fiber reinforced plastic in which a reinforcing material includes carbon fibers and a matrix includes plastic, wherein the matrix has electrical conductivity applied thereto. Furthermore, a cut surface of the structural member, which is formed by cutting the structural member, may be exposed to the inside in which fuel is accommodated, of a fuel tank.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fuel tank comprising: a structural member using carbon fiber reinforced plastic in which a reinforcing material includes carbon fibers and a matrix includes plastic, wherein the matrix has electrical conductivity applied thereto, the carbon fibers included in the reinforcing material provided on a cut surface of the structural member, which is formed by cutting the structural member, are exposed to an inside in which fuel is accommodated without providing a sealant on the cut surface, and the carbon fiber reinforced plastic used for the structural member has a resistivity in a plate thickness direction of less than or equal to 500 Ωcm by the electrical conductivity applied to the matrix. 2. A main wing having the fuel tank according to claim 1 as a structural body thereof. 3. An aircraft fuselage comprising the fuel tank according to claim 1 . 4. An aircraft comprising the main wing according to claim 2 . 5. A mobile body comprising the fuel tank according to claim 1 . 6. An aircraft comprising the aircraft fuselage according to claim 3 .
