Aircraft Fuel System ✈️

The aircraft fuel system is designed to manage fuel efficiently and safely during flight. Here's a simplified breakdown:


1. Surge Tank : Collects and returns fuel to the main tanks, preventing pressure buildup.


2. Feed Tanks : Outer and inner tanks supply fuel to the engines.


3. Main Wing Compartment : Holds most of the fuel, ensuring balance and smooth fuel flow to engines.


4. Centre Tank : Stores and distributes fuel, connected to other tanks for balance.


5. Auxiliary Tanks : Extra fuel storage, but cannot be refueled via gravity points.


6. Fuel Pumps & Valves : Ensure fuel is transferred to engines; cross-feed valves balance fuel between tanks.

Record



7. Engine LP Valves : Control fuel flow to engines, with safety measures like fire handles.


8. APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) : Provides power to the aircraft's systems when engines are off, using low-pressure fuel.


In short, this system ensures fuel is stored, transferred, and used efficiently, keeping the aircraft running smoothly and safely during flight.
