摘要： A method of aircraft fuel distribution includes selecting a longitudinal center of gravity and predicting a rate of change of the center of gravity during flight. Fuel is located in a tail fm tank of a vertical tail fin of the aircraft, and is transferred from the tail fin tank forward at a predetermined transfer rate to counteract the predicted rate of change thereby maintaining the selected center of gravity. An aircraft fuel distribution system includes a center main fuel tank, a tail fin tank and a tail fin fuel pump to pump fuel between the tail fin tank and the center main fuel tank. An electronic controller operates the tail fin fuel pump such that fuel is flowed between the tail fin tank and the center main fuel tank at a predetermined transfer rate to maintain automatically an optimal position of a longitudinal center of gravity of the aircraft.

摘要翻译： 飞行器燃料分配的方法包括选择纵向重心并预测飞行中重心的变化率。 燃料位于飞机的垂直尾翼的尾部fm罐中，并且以预定的传送速率从尾翼槽前进传送，以抵消预测的变化率，从而保持所选择的重心。 飞机燃料分配系统包括中央主燃料箱，尾鳍罐和尾翼燃料泵，用于在尾翼箱和中央主燃料箱之间泵送燃料。 电子控制器操作尾翼燃料泵，使得燃料以预定的传送速率在尾翼箱和中央主燃料箱之间流动，以自动维持飞行器的纵向重心的最佳位置。
