JimAttrill Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Ok here's another WWI question: Q. Which was the first aircraft fitted with self-sealing fuel tanks? A. Clue: this aircraft is not in any flight simulator that I know of but is well known. Quote
Olham Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Well, I found out that the America Glenn L. Martin Company was said to have used self-sealing tanks first in their planes. In 1918 they built the bombers MB-1 and MB-2, but it seems they didn't see service anymore. One of the first WW2 planes with such tanks was the Fairy Battle. Quote
JimAttrill Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 One of the many descriptions of the Ilya Muromets 4-engined Russian bomber of 1913 stated that it was the first aircraft to have self-sealing fuel tanks, but I can't seem to find it now The aircraft was also the first with a toilet Quote
