1. A fuel boost module for a gas turbine engine, the fuel boost module comprising:
a base separate from a support platform for the gas turbine engine; a fuel inlet; a fuel outlet configured to be fluidly coupled to the gas turbine engine; a filter assembly coupled to the base; a fuel controller coupled to the base and fluidly coupled to the fuel outlet, the fuel controller configured to regulate pressure of the fuel delivered to the gas turbine engine via the fuel outlet; a boost pump assembly having a first longitudinal axis substantially parallel with an upper surface of the base, the boost pump assembly being arranged on and coupled to the base, and fluidly coupled to and interspaced between the fuel inlet and the filter assembly; and a main pump assembly having a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel with the upper surface of the base and substantially perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis, the main pump assembly being arranged flat on and coupled to the base, and fluidly coupled to and interspaced between the filter assembly and the fuel controller.
