Turtle-Pac Fuel Bladder Taking The World By Storm
Queensland's Gold Coast is known across the world as a top tourist destination, but now it's getting a good name for something entirely different.
With an increasing focus on improving aviation efficiency, it's a Currumbin-based company that is leading the way in designing tough bladder tanks for aircraft.
And in May, the Turtle-Pac fuel bladder made its way to Russia, as part of the 10th International Helicopter Industry Exhibition, HeliRussia, in Moscow.
Safer And More Space Efficient
The super tough, collapsible tanks can be used for a variety of tasks. Safer and more space efficient than traditional fuel tanks, it can carry extra fuel to extend air time. It can also be used to drop fuel into hostile environments and small drop zones.
Once empty, the Turtle-Pac fuel bladder can be folded away to create room for additional passengers or cargo.
HeliRussia is Europe's largest helicopter expo, drawing massive interest from industry professionals and the public. And it will see this Australian enterprise exhibiting alongside companies from 15 countries.
Extend Air Time Between Stops
Made of tough 1100 Dtex nylon weave core, coated with PVC, the bladder tanks can be used on most aircraft. Enabling aircraft to extend air time between fuel stops, they improve cost efficiency. And because they can be collapsed and stowed away, they also enable two-way revenue earning capacity.
The Turtle-Pac fuel bladder is also a safety aid, delivering extra fuel should weather conditions prohibit landing for traditional re-fuelling.
Among this tough bladder tank's many claims to fame, is the world record-breaking flight made by veteran pilot Bill Harrelson.
From Australia To Russia
When Harrelson flew non-stop from Guam to Florida in his specially built Lancair IV, this could only be achieved with the use of two Turtle-Pac DRUM 66 collapsible aircraft fuel tanks.
Tough bladder tanks for aircraft are now being used throughout the world, from Australia to Alaska and Antarctica - and now Russia.
