The interactions between the design and operation of aircraft fuel systems and the properties of alternative aircraft fuels are discussed. An overview of fuels system research and technology in terms of its rationale, its progress, and future plans is given. The measurement of ambient air temperatures for a wide range of seasonal and geographic variations, design studies on the use of fuels with increased as well as conventional freezing temperatures, the evaluation of fuel heating systems, and the low temperature behavior of fuels are among the topics discussed.
