Concorde fuel systems

The Concorde fuel system has three functions; to supply fuel to the engines, to control the position of the aircraft’s Centre of Gravity (CG) and to act as a heat sink to absorb kinetic heating from the structure and to dissipate heat generated by the air-conditioning and hydraulic systems.

Why not join in with discussions on the latest Concorde developments

Our Facebook forum is where we discuss in detail our current projects, share photo's and where fans of the aircraft can ask questions direct to the engineering team. We are proud to be associated with both Brooklands restoration and the Le Bourget Conservation team so the pool of knowledge is immense. Many of our engineers have years of knowledge of working on the aircraft. So like our site, join our forum and follow us on Twitter.
