AIRCRAFT FUEL GAGING AND FLOW-METERING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: measuring on-board fuel capacity. SUBSTANCE: system includes flowmeter consisting of two capacitance-type sensitive elements connected in parallel and mounted in fuel tank. Fuel tank is also provided with fuel level detectors; fuel flow sensor is fitted in service main which is connected with fuel tank. Besides that, proposed system includes integrator, fuel capacity computing circuit, received fuel setter, fuel capacity indicator, correction introducing circuit, specific correction computer unit and real time timer. EFFECT: reduced measurement error arising at intervals between corrections. 1 dwg
