A method of fueling an aircraft, the aircraft comprising a gas turbine engine and a fuel tank, the fuel tank arranged to provide fuel to the gas turbine engine, the method comprising: obtaining an amount of energy required for a predetermined flight profile; obtaining a calorific value of a fuel available for the aircraft for refueling; calculating an amount of available fuel required to provide the required energy; and fueling the aircraft with the calculated amount of available fuel. Calculating the amount of available fuel required to provide the required energy may include obtaining an energy content of fuel that has been in the fuel tank and subtracting the energy content from the determined amount of energy required for the predetermined flight profile.

    一种为飞行器补充燃料的方法,该飞行器包括燃气涡轮发动机和燃料箱,该燃料箱布置成向燃气涡轮发动机提供燃料,该方法包括:获得对于预定飞行轮廓所需的能量的量;获得用于补充燃料的可用于该飞行器的燃料的热值;计算提供所需能量所需要的可用燃料的量;以及用计算量的可用燃料为飞行器补充燃料。计算提供所需能量所需要的可用燃料的量可包括获得已经在燃料箱中的燃料的能量含量,并从对于预定飞行轮廓所需的所确定的能量的量减去该能量含量。
