- I imagine the problem can be solved by looking into the inventory of Aircraft appli
- applications under fuel tanks. I know for many smaller aircraft, this problem
- is avoided by having the fuel feeders be on flex hose, with a little
- pendular mass. normally, they hang about 1" off the tank bottom, but during
- severe manuevers they roll with the fluid body.
- now granted this may be a little tougher with cryogenics, but i am sure
- some sort of engineered flex could be bobbed in there.
