FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly, to systems configured to remove water from aircraft fuel tank. Water removal system allows feeding water from fuel tank into engine. Water removal system comprises water line 10 and valve 20. In operation, the valve opens automatically in response to increase in aircraft effective pitch angle at takeoff and landing. Said valve comprises pendulum and valve shutoff element connected with latter so that pendulum angular position relative to water line makes valve shutoff element shift from closed position whereat said element hampers water flow in water line into open position whereat water can flow via said valve.
EFFECT: higher reliability.
