Abstract:
A method of pumping fuel in a fuel system of a composite aircraft having a gas turbine engine includes feeding un-heated fuel from a fuel tank to the gas turbine engine, by using an ejector pump to draw the fuel from the fuel tank and feeding the fuel through an engine fuel pump within a main fuel line upstream of the gas turbine engine. Fuel from the main fuel line is bled and directed to the ejector pump via a motive flow pump assembly, the motive flow pump assembly including a motive flow pump generating a motive flow for the ejector pump. The bleed fuel flow is then passed through a hydrophobic fuel screen located upstream of the motive flow pump.
