Fuel tank and engine feed tank contents, as well as low level alerts, are likely to be included in the “Fuel Quantity Indicating System,” which is present on modern multi-engined aircraft.
The purpose of the Fuel Quantity Measuring System is to show the pilot a visual representation of the amount of usable fuel currently stored in the aircraft’s fuel tanks. By varying a precisely controlled electrical signal, both of these systems provide fuel quantity information.
In all automobiles, a fuel level sensor (FLS) is used to indicate fuel level. To measure fuel level, various methods such as resistive film, discrete resistors, capacitive, and ultrasonic are used. For this application, resistive-based sensors are most commonly used.
The Global Aviation Fuel Quantity Indicating System market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Boeing modifying 777 fuel indicator after in-flight discrepancy incidents.After the identification of a fuel discrepancy issue involving the centre wing tank, Boeing is creating a retrofit for the 777 passenger and freighter aircraft.
The change was made in response to at least 25 instances in which there was a discrepancy between the amount of fuel indicated by the aircraft’s centre tank and the amount lifted from refuelling trucks, and each time the crew received a message stating that there was “fuel disagree” or “insufficient fuel” within three hours of takeoff.
Six of these aircraft reached their target after at least 16 of these events, while the other 10 had to land at a divert airport.The indicator will display a different amount of fuel than what is actually present in the centre wing tank as a result of the flaw’s incorrect fuel-density calculation.
Paying for fuel necessitates a volume calculation, which entails computations that take into account the fuel mass and the amount of fuel still in the tank from the previous flight.
