Fuel_Line#

class Fuel_Line(*args, **kwarg)[source]#

Bases: Component

Class for managing fuel distribution between aircraft fuel system components

tag#

Identifier for the fuel line (default: ‘fuel_line’)

Type:

str

fuel_tanks#

Collection of fuel tanks connected to this line

Type:

Container

assigned_propulsors#

List of propulsion systems supplied by this fuel line

Type:

list

active#

Flag indicating if the fuel line is operational (default: True)

Type:

bool

efficiency#

Fuel transfer efficiency (default: 1.0)

Type:

float

Notes

The fuel line manages fuel distribution between tanks and engines, handling fuel transfer and flow control. It supports multiple fuel tanks and propulsors in various aircraft configurations.

append_operating_conditions(segment)[source]#

Append operating conditions for a flight segment

Parameters:

segment (Segment) – Flight segment containing operating conditions

append_segment_conditions(segment)[source]#

Append segment-specific conditions to the bus

Parameters:

  • conditions (Data) – Container for segment conditions

  • segment (Segment) – Flight segment data

compute_moments_of_inertia(vehicle, center_of_gravity=[[0, 0, 0]])[source]#

Computes the moment of inertia tensor for the fuel line.

Parameters:

center_of_gravity (list, optional) – Reference point coordinates for moment calculation, defaults to [[0, 0, 0]]
