Abstract: A flow booster for optimizing flow of fuel passing into an aircraft. The flow booster includes a fuel intake fluidly coupled to the fuel circuit, and includes a housing and a piston. The piston has a piston head slidably movable in the housing to define h a variable fuel inlet to receive the fuel. The fuel applies a fuel force to the piston. An intake tuner is operatively connected to the fuel M intake, and has a tuning force applied to the piston against the fuel force. A trigger is coupled to the intake tuner to vary the tuning force applied by the intake tuner. The flow regulator is coupled to sensors to receive fuel measurements. A flow regulator is operatively connected to the trigger to activate the trigger in response to the fuel measurements whereby the flow of the fuel into the aircraft is continuously adjustable during refueling.
