Future Aircraft Fuels and Their Effect on Engine Control Design

Abstract

CONCERN about the possible future of fuel supplies and the effect on fuel specifications was felt in the early 1970's, and since that time Dowty Fuel Systems has taken an active policy to ensure that hydromechanical components will be capable of handling aviation fuels which may be expected to appear in future years. A continuing programme of research is in existance which both monitors the trends in aviation fuels and develops controls which will satisfy future requirements.
