<p>Fuel is selectively jettisoned through the engine of an aircraft by way of a normally closed, solenoid-operated jettison valve which is fed from the boost pump in the engine fuel system. The jettison valve is servo activated by the main fuel flow so that the engine must be running for the opening of the solenoid valve to occur. For an engine having an augmenter, other interlocks are provided to prevent the jettison of fuel when the augmenter is in use and to preclude the ignition function to the augmenter while fuel is being jettisoned.</p> |
