Sommario/riassunto

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
