Abstract:
A fuel supply system for an aerial vehicle includes: a plurality of fixed tanks storing fuel; a variable tank provided in a fixed tank of the plurality of fixed tanks and storing fuel; a fuel supply flow path, a first end of which is connected to the variable tank and passing through the plurality of fixed tanks; and a fuel pump provided in a fixed tank which does not have the variable tank, an outlet side of the fuel pump being connected to the fuel supply flow path. According to the fuel supply system, continuous fuel supply is performed despite the change of the attitude or acceleration of an aerial vehicle, sufficient fuel is stored, and constraints on fuel tank design are minimized.
