Aircraft Fuel Systems

Allaspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling,quantity gauging and management functions for both commercial (civil)and military applications.

Thefuel systems on board modern aircraft are multi-functional, fullyintegrated complex networks. They are designed to provide a properand reliable management of fuel resources throughout all phases ofoperation, notwithstanding changes in altitude or speed, as well asto monitor system functionality and advise the flight crew of anyoperational anomalies that may develop.

Collatestogether a wealth of information on fuel system design that iscurrently disseminated throughout the literature.

Authoredby leading industry experts from Airbus and Parker Aerospace.

Includeschapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique tomilitary aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging andmanagement, fuel systems safety and fuel systems design anddevelopment.

Accompaniedby a companion website housing a MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a modernaircraft fuel system that allows the user to set up flightconditions, investigate the effects of equipment failures andvirtually fly preset missions.

AircraftFuel Systems provides a timely and invaluable resource for engineers,project and programme managers in the equipment supply andapplication communities, as well as for graduate and postgraduatestudents of mechanical andaerospace engineering. It constitutes aninvaluable addition to the established Wiley Aerospace Series.
