All aspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling, quantity gauging and management functions for both commercial (civil) and military applications. The fuel systems on board modern aircraft are multi-functional, fully integrated complex networks. They are designed to provide a proper and reliable management of fuel resources throughout all phases of operation, notwithstanding changes in altitude or speed, as well as to monitor system functionality and advise the flight crew of any operational anomalies that may develop. Collates together a wealth of information on fuel system design that is currently disseminated throughout the literature. Authored by leading industry experts from Airbus and Parker Aerospace. Includes chapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging and management, fuel systems safety and fuel systems design and development. Accompanied by a companion website housing a MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a modern aircraft fuel system that allows the user to set up flight conditions, investigate the effects of equipment failures and virtually fly preset missions. Aircraft Fuel Systems provides a timely and invaluable resource for engineers, project and programme managers in the equipment supply and application communities, as well as for graduate and postgraduate students of mechanical and aerospace engineering. It constitutes an invaluable addition to the established Wiley Aerospace Series.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–17): Chapter 2 Fuel System Design Drivers (pages 19–29): Chapter 3 Fuel Storage (pages 31–51): Chapter 4 Fuel System Functions of Commercial Aircraft (pages 53–95): Chapter 5 Fuel System Functions of Military Aircraft and Helicopters (pages 97–118): Chapter 6 Fluid Mechanical Equipment (pages 119–156): Chapter 7 Fuel Measurement and Management Equipment (pages 157–201): Chapter 8 Fuel Properties (pages 203–213): Chapter 9 Intrinsic Safety, Electro Magnetics and Electrostatics (pages 215–223): Chapter 10 Fuel Tank Inerting (pages 225–237): Chapter 11 Design Development and Certification (pages 239–270): Chapter 12 Fuel System Design Examples (pages 271–325): Chapter 13 New and Future Technologies (pages 327–338):
