Zusammenfassung:	A rotorcraft (10) includes a fuselage (16) having a fuel tank receiving assembly (24) with a fuel tank (28) positioned therein. The fuel tank (28) including a plurality of interconnected fuel bags operable to contain liquid fuel. A network of straps is disposed about the fuel tank (28) forming a restraint assembly (130; 172; 182; 202). The network of straps includes at least one perimeter strap (132, 134, 136, 138, 140) extending at least partially about at least two fuel bags and at least one surrounding strap (142, 144, 146) extending at least partially about the at least two fuel bags. The at least one perimeter strap (132, 134, 136, 138, 140) has at least two intersections (156, 158) with the at least one surrounding strap (142, 144, 146).
