This blivet army, also called Helitank, is perfectly adapted to the transport of fuel or water under helicopters. Indeed, this storage system allows the refueling of advanced units (FARP, forword advance refuelling point), possibly placed in difficult access areas.
The slinging is instantaneous; a single ring allows the tank to be hooked under the helicopter.
The cross-shaped attachment skirts provide an anti-rotation device for perfect stability in flight.
All the advantages of the flexible tank are combined: lightness, flexibility and solidity.
Made of highly resistant PVC coated fabrics and assembled by vulcanization, this tank can contain different types of liquids (fuel, water etc.). Moreover, the army water blivet/ army fuel blivet is resistant to extreme weather conditions.
When it is empty, the product has a very small volume and does not take up much space. This heli-transportable storage system is also available in an air transportable version (see the towable tank).
