An energy recovery device for an aircraft includes: a turbine that is provided between a cabin of the aircraft and an opening for discharging cabin discharge air from the cabin to the outside of the aircraft and is operated by only the cabin discharge air; and a power generator that is driven by the turbine.

Energy recovery device for aircraft

A fuel supply system includes a gear pump, and a minimum pressurizing check valve including a cylinder and a piston that partitions the internal space of the cylinder into a first chamber that communicates with the metering section and a second chamber that communicates with a system inlet, the piston is spring-biased in a direction toward the first chamber, a side wall of the cylinder is provided with an outflow port having an opening degree adjusted as the piston moves back and forth, the minimum pressurizing check valve keeps a differential pressure between the system inlet and the outlet of the metering section constant when the rotation speed of the gear pump is equal to or more than a lower threshold and is equal to or less than an intermediate threshold.

Fuel supply system and fuel supply method for aircraft gas turbine engine

A fuel supply control device () is configured to generate an operation amount used for feedback-controlling rotation of a gear pump () based on a deviation of a detected fuel flow rate with respect to a target flow rate, wherein the fuel supply control device generates the operation amount such that a rotation speed of the gear pump is equal to or greater than a predetermined lower limit rotation speed Nmin so as to protect a bearing of the gear pump.
