It was an
ullage explosion caused by enemy fire that took down the C130k aircraft in 2005.
Had the aircraft's wing tanks been fitted with ESF (explosion-suppressant foam), which stops
ullage explosions, the men may well be alive today, the inquest was told.
From time to time, the
ullage (headspace in the barrel) that is produced by this evaporation must be displaced by topping the barrel up with some wine from the same lot.
In one example, Texas A&M University used the company's Energy Chain aboard NASA's Reduced Gravity aircraft the Weightless Wonder--to test the effects of acceleration on spatial orientation of liquid and
ullage (gas/vapor) in a scale model propellant tank.
By reducing the
ullage in the packs through the new size, they appear to be more filled than did the former packages.
