Tanks are broken down into two categories: pressure vessels that carry primarily pressure loads, and structural tanks that carry structural loads such as thrust or bending in addition to pressure. A significant portion of the shuttle orbiter structure are tanks and in order to minimize both weight and cost growth on these shuttle tank structures, composite material tanks of both types are considered.
