PRESENTATION
?
Name basic aircraft fuel system components and
describe their general functions.
ANSWER: Aircraft fuel tanks are normally located both in the
wings and in the fuselage. A transfer system (operated
electrically and/or mechanically) routes fuel to a central point
for further routing to the engine. Fuel system gauges indicate
rate of fuel flow and fuel remaining. Refueling is normally
accomplished by pressure and/or gravity methods.
