Aircraft Fuel Systems integrates all aspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging, and fuel management for both commercial/civil, and military aircraft applications. It collates together information on fuel system design that is currently disseminated throughout literature into one easily comprehensible reference text. There are chapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging, fuel management, fuel system safety, and fuel systems design and development.
