AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEMS
The aircraft fuel system stores fuel and delivers the proper amount of clean fuel at the right pressure to meet the demands of the engine. A well designed fuel ensures positive and reliable fuel flow through all phases of flight. This must include changes in altitude, violent manoeuvres and sudden acceleration and deceleration. Furthermore, the system must be reasonably free from tendency to vapour lock. Such indicators as fuel pressure gauges, warning signals and tank quantity gauges are provided to give continuous indications ions of how the system is functioning.
We will examine here the fuel system used in several different types of aircraft. They will range from the simple to (lie complex. and represent the variety offered by today’s civilian fleet.
