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 aproper and reliable management of fuel resources throughout allphases of operation, notwithstanding changes in altitude or speed,as well as to monitor system functionality and advise the flightcrew of any operational anomalies that may develop.

• Collates together a wealth of information on fuel system designthat is currently disseminated throughout the literature.
• Authored by leading industry experts from Airbus and ParkerAerospace.
• Includes chapters on basic system functions, features andfunctions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantitygauging and management, fuel systems safety and fuel systems designand development.
• Accompanied by a companion website housing a MATLAB/SIMULINKmodel of a modern aircraft fuel system that allows the user to setup flight conditions, investigate the effects of equipment failuresand virtually fly preset missions.

Aircraft Fuel Systems provides a timely and invaluableresource for engineers, project and programme managers in theequipment supply and application communities, as well as forgraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical and aerospaceengineering. It constitutes an invaluable addition to theestablished Wiley Aerospace Series.
