AN AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM

摘要

An aircraft fuel system comprises a fuel tank (10) and a pump (14) for pumping fuel (12) from the fuel tank (10) to an engine (22). A receptacle (16) is provided for receiving fuel from the pump (14) to provide a reservoir of fuel. A duct (20) is provided along which fuel (12) is fed by gravity from the receptacle (16) to an engine (22) when fuel feed from the pump (14) is interrupted or is not supplied at a sufficient rate with the aircraft in normal flight conditions.
