FAA approves AerSafe to comply with fuel tank flammability reduction rule for Boeing 737 Classic Series

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of AerSale’s new AerSafe system on the Boeing 737 Classic series aircraft in compliance with the Fuel Tank Flammability Reduction (FTFR). This new STC is in addition to the STC for the Boeing 737 NG series, approved by the FAA earlier this year. Tested and developed to exact tolerances to fill the cavity of the Boeing 737 NG and Classic series center fuel tanks, AerSafe limits the amount of available oxygen that can ignite fuel vapors and prevents sparks from igniting an explosion. AerSafe comes as a complete prefabricated kit that can be installed at any hangar around the world. After initial installation, the system requires no maintenance or expensive spare parts.
