    摘要: The present application relates to a fuel flow system. In particular, the application relates to a fuel flow system for an aircraft. The fuel flow system has a fuel conduit having a fuel inflow and a fuel outflow along which a fuel/water mix is configured to flow from the fuel inflow to the fuel outflow. The fuel conduit is fluidly communicable with a fuel tank. A peripheral conduit surrounds at least part of the fuel conduit. A water-permeable member is disposed between the fuel conduit and the peripheral conduit. The water-permeable member enables water from the fuel/water mix to flow through the water-permeable member from the fuel conduit into the peripheral conduit, but at least substantially prevents liquid fuel from the fuel/water mix from doing so.

    摘要: A fuel tank inerting module, a fuel tank inerting system for an aircraft, and a method of providing fuel tank inerting systems for aircraft are disclosed. The module includes an inlet for ullage gas from a fuel tank, a catalyst, an outlet for the ODA, sensors, filters and valves. The module is sized and shaped to fit in a range of positions near to fuel tanks in various aircraft. The inerting system includes one or more modules connected to the fuel tanks and a controller to control passage of ullage and ODA between the fuel tanks and the modules. The method includes providing an inert gas generation module compatible with any suitable aircraft, positioning one or more modules in an aircraft at locations near to a fuel tank to be inerted.

    摘要: An electronic device checks the pressure of an aircraft landing gear oleo by means of a camera capturing and processing an image of the oleo. An image recognition module processes the oleo image to extract a measure of the amount of extension of the oleo. This measure is then processed together with a measure of oleo temperature to calculate a pressure value representative of the expected pressure of the gas within the oleo, which can then be compared with another measurement of oleo pressure to determine whether the two are consistent or whether the oleo might be under- or over-filled with gas. The electronic device may be in the form of a hand-held smart phone or tablet device appropriately programmed with software.
