Extract

Seven years ago a paper on this same subject was read before the Main Society. This has been used as a basis from which to start.

It will be seen that great strides have been made in performance, and the projects in the Design Office and on the drawing boards particularly, would even satisfy parliamentary critics. In Derby, however, where jet lift was conceived, such things are well known. From the fuel system standpoint in general the changes in requirements have been routine, merely much greater fuel demands, greater altitudes and air speeds and hence, a greater range of fuel flow, and it is this which gives the fuel system engineer his greatest worries. Beyond this there is always the need for smaller and lighter units in fancy shapes.
