Abstract

The fueling systems of modern aircraft are considered. The need for their further improvement is shown in accordance with the recommendations of ICAO. A brief overview of methods and means of measuring fuel level in tanks in modern aviation fuel meters are given. It is proposed to develop and create high-precision air flowmeters and to develop a structure based on the measurement of the cost of fuel oil in tanks with automatic stabilization of air pressure in the tank. The designs of the diaphragm knot and the differential pressure gauge included in the volumetric fueling system are considered. The developed system allows to create equipment with the improved characteristics.
