LIQUID CONTAINER, ESPECIALLY OIL TANK, WITH DEVICE FOR TANK VENTILATION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EXTREME FLIGHT POSITIONS AND CONDITIONS

摘要

A liquid reservoir, such as an oil tank, for use in missiles or aircraft which are subjected to extreme flight attitudes. The reservoir has a wall rotationally symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the reservoir, and the liquid content of the reservoir is rotated about the longitudinal axis to provide, by centrifugal force, a central space within the reservoir which is essentially free of liquid. Air is vented from the reservoir through a fixed vent located within the central space created when the liquid content is rotated.
