What is the structural difference between this new center tank and the center tank already in all B737, B777, A320, A321 and A330-200 aircraft? Is there something that makes this particularly more vulnerable to failure than previous center tanks? If anything I would have thought an integrated center tank as proposed for the XLR should provide improved safety over the removable ACTs used currently in the LR?
