An active control system for load alleviation has been developed for a long-range version of the Lockheed L-1011. This system, which permits the use of an extended wing span for fuel conservation with minimum structural change, will be introduced into commercial service in early 1980. The system is described and the criteria to which it is designed are discussed. Examples of flight test data obtained from a prototype version of the system installed on the flight test airplane are presented, and comparisons of these results with analytical predictions are shown. A basis for certification of such systems is presented, assuring a level of safety equivalent to that of a conventional design. (Author).

All aspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling, quantity gauging and management functions for both commercial (civil) and military applications. The fuel systems on board modern aircraft are multi-functional, fully integrated complex networks. They are designed to provide a proper and reliable management of fuel resources throughout all phases of operation, notwithstanding changes in altitude or speed, as well as to monitor system functionality and advise the flight crew of any operational anomalies that may develop. Collates together a wealth of information on fuel system design that is currently disseminated throughout the literature. Authored by leading industry experts from Airbus and Parker Aerospace. Includes chapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging and management, fuel systems safety and fuel systems design and development. Accompanied by a companion website housing a MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a modern aircraft fuel system that allows the user to set up flight conditions, investigate the effects of equipment failures and virtually fly preset missions. Aircraft Fuel Systems provides a timely and invaluable resource for engineers, project and programme managers in the equipment supply and application communities, as well as for graduate and postgraduate students of mechanical and aerospace engineering. It constitutes an invaluable addition to the established Wiley Aerospace Series.
