Abstract: A tank has a body defining a chamber therein, the chamber is configured to store a gas at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, a first mounting element extending from the body, and a second mounting element extending from the body. The first mounting element and the second mounting element are configured for coupling to a first component of a vehicle and a second component of the vehicle, respectively, and the body is configured to carry a structural load between the first component and the second component when the first mounting element and the second mounting element are coupled thereto. The first component carries a propulsion device and the second component comprises at least one of a wing and a landing element. The tank further includes a stem having an orifice and the stem is configured for delivering the gas to the propulsion device through the orifice.
