This complicated little panel is responsible for the control of fuel to the Concorde fuel tanks, there are 13 fuel tanks numbered 1 to 11 (a standing joke in the Concorde world)

Fuel movement is responsible for correcting 

Concorde's C of G during flight

The Center of gravity on Concorde can move some six metres just by moving fuel around the various tanks, a careful balancng act for the flight engineer

 

This section will be a long and detailed section on what each part of the panel does rather then how the system works.

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.
