While aircraft fuel systems are not regarded as one of the complex features of an aircraft, they are essential systems of all aircraft. Their role and functional characteristics play a critical aspect in the design, certification, operation of both military and commercial planes. Engine fuel consumption varies according to the aircraft mission. In this paper, a typical aircraft fuel system configuration is discussed and fuel transfer analysis i.e. simulation of aircraft fuel system performed on MSC EASY5 platform is presented. The results are verified by comparing with the engine requirements Keywords-aircraft fuel system, fuel transfer, simulation, Easy5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
