class Fuel_Line(Component):
"""
Class for managing fuel distribution between aircraft fuel system components
Attributes
----------
tag : str
Identifier for the fuel line (default: 'fuel_line')
fuel_tanks : Container
Collection of fuel tanks connected to this line
assigned_propulsors : list
List of propulsion systems supplied by this fuel line
active : bool
Flag indicating if the fuel line is operational (default: True)
efficiency : float
Fuel transfer efficiency (default: 1.0)
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.
