FUEL TANK SUPERCHARGE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64D37/24 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft and space engineering, particularly to fuel tank superchargers. Proposed system comprises pressure accumulator composed by several, more than two, compressed gas cylinders equipped with fill and drain assemblies, pipelines and control and shutoff valves. Note here that cylinders are filled to the extend defined by claimed ratio: $$M_g=\frac{PV}{RT}$$ where M_g -is supercharging gas weight; P is supercharging pressure; V is fuel tank volume; R is gas constant; T is supercharging gas temperature at termination of supersonic aircraft flight.

EFFECT: optimised configuration and alignment, decreased weight of supercharging gas.
