MASS FLOW DOSING SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method of calculating fuel flow for a fuel cycle (34), and an alternative system (26) for measuring fuel flow. The flow meter is used to calculate fuel flow over a portion of a flight of an aircraft equipped with the system. Fuel flow is calculated with the alternative measurement system at least during maximum power flow portions of the flight cycle. A system is configured for performing this method. A method of calculating mass flow across a fuel metering unit uses fuel flow volume measurements and information about the fuel to reach a mass flow measurement.
