Abstract

The construction of an aircraft fuel-measuring system based on hydrostatic pressure sensors is considered, which makes it possible to determine the fuel residue in the aircraft tanks during its evolutions. With the evolution of aircraft, measuring the fuel residue in existing fuel metering systems using float and capacitive fuel level sensors has a rather complex electromechanical design and significant weight and size characteristics. This together affects the reliability of such systems as a whole and leads to significant methodological errors in determining the remaining fuel during maneuverable flight. The proposed system using hydrostatic pressure sensors and a computer can significantly increase the efficiency of existing fuel metering systems, and can also be used for calibration tests both on the ground and in flight.
