Abstract:
The use of flexible foam material to provide ignition mitigation in fuel tanks is described. In one example, a system for ignition mitigation includes a number of foam blocks, wherein each foam block is pre-cut from a flexible foam material. Each foam block can have a unique profile corresponding to inner surfaces of a fuel tank at a particular sector within a compartment of the fuel tank. In other aspects, one or more of the foam blocks can include one or more upper cutouts to provide clearance for upper stiffeners in the fuel tank, one or more lower cutouts to provide clearance for lower stiffeners in the fuel tank, and one or more arcuate cutouts to provide clearance for a tank fuel pump. The foam blocks can be arranged in a stack corresponding to a sequential installation at respective sectors within the compartment of the fuel tank.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n a first foam block among the first plurality of foam blocks comprises at least one upper cutout to provide clearance for upper stiffeners in the fuel tank; a second foam block among the first plurality of foam blocks comprises at least one lower cutout to provide clearance for lower stiffeners in the fuel tank; the first foam block and the second foam block are formed to be stacked in a vertically-oriented column within the first compartment of the fuel tank; and at least one foam block between the first foam block and the second foam block in the vertically-oriented column of the first plurality of foam blocks comprises at least one channel void to reduce weight.
