I have read many reports and discussions on the accident to AF 4590. I have as yet never found any answer to my question, relevant to this thread I think
On 22nd August 1985 G-BGJL Boeing 737-236 on take off at Manchester Airport suffered an uncontained engine failure which punctured wing fuel tanks, causing a fuel fed fire which destroyed the aircraft and killed some of the occupants.
On 25th July 2000 F-BTSC Concorde on take off at Paris suffered an undercarriage/tyre failure which punctured wing fuel tanks, causing a fuel fed fire which destroyed the aircraft and killed the occupants.
Goodness knows how many millions of £s, $s or Euros were spent putting racing car type kevlar linings in Concorde wing tanks, having grounded the entire fleet almost at once.
What if anything has ever been done to correct the similar (apparant) tank weakness in the Boeing 737 ?
Your comments and observations appreciated.
Be lucky
