Abstract: On-Board Inert Gas Generator System(OBIGGS) is widely used in military and civil aircrafts to reduce the combustion and explosion risk of fuel tanks. Because of inherent disadvantages including low efifciency, high demand to the pressure and lfow rate of the bleed air, researchers are stil seeking better inerting technologies. A novel technology, in which the lfammable gas on ulage is imported into a catalytic reactor to reduce the oxygen concentration, is paid more attentions due to its unique advantages. Based on the introduction of the essential principle and history of the ifrst generation oxygen consumption based fuel tank inerting technology, the latest research contributions of the second generation oxygen consumption based fuel tank inerting technology were presented including its basic structure, system flow and some experimental data measured in FAA and the fuel tank of A-3 attacker.
