Present fuel flow measuring systems for medium priced aircraft lack accuracy needed for efficient flight planning and cargo weight scheduling and means for totalizing measurement signal to provide accurate measure of fuel consumed or fuel remaining; new fuel management system, designed by Aerospace Industries Group, uses turbine meter to measure fuel flow; since measuring instrument provides digital output, flow rate can be totalized by means of pulse counter; therefore, in addition to rate indication, pilot has accurate total of fuel consumed or fuel remaining at his disposal; comparison of turbine meter with existing systems; fuel density changes due to temperature and fuel type are considered showing how they affect measuring system in piston and turbo-type aircraft.
