Research abstract

An inline device or sensor that can recognize contaminated fuel before and while refueling Army Aircraft, and shut down the refueling operation immediately upon detection of contamination will provide an indication to the refueling personnel that contamination has been recognized and shut off refueling operation to prevent the contaminated fuel from entering the aircraft. We propose to design a unique Fuel Contaminant Sensor (FCS) to enhance safety and ensure continued aircraft availability and readiness. The features of the designed FCS will include at a minimum: • Installation just prior to the fuelling nozzle • High sensitivity optical sensing of particulates and free water • Self powered, portable, small, and light weight • Fail to safe refueling shutdown capability • Satisfies safety requirements • Simple, maintenance free operation
