Continuous fuel management system for automatic control of aircraft center of gravity

Patent number: 8226040

Abstract: Fuel transference between aircraft fuel tanks, disposed in different locations, is used to maintain the aircraft Center of Gravity close to the aft limit of the certified Center of Gravity versus weight envelope. Continuous fuel transfer decreases the control band thus enhancing aircraft performance.

Type: Grant

Filed: August 25, 2008

Date of Patent: July 24, 2012

Assignee: Embraer S.A.

Inventor: Rubens Domecildes Neto
