SAE ARP 5580

SAE ARP 5580 is a set of guidelines established by the Society of Automotive Engineers for designing and manufacturing aircraft fuel systems. It outlines best practices to ensure that fuel systems are safe, reliable, and meet performance standards. This includes recommendations for fuel tank construction, venting, contamination prevention, and compatibility with different aircraft components. Compliance with ARP 5580 helps manufacturers minimize risks like fuel leaks, fire hazards, or system failures, ensuring that aircraft operate safely and efficiently during flight.
