Fuel Pump & Metering Units

Goodrich can provide a range of solutions from the more traditional complex hydro-mechanical systems still used on some turboprop applications to electronically controlled units.

Fuel Pumps

Engine driven fuel pumps provide a source of high pressure fuel to the combustion chamber to provide the required levels of thrust. High pressure is also used to provide power to the engine actuation systems. On smaller aircraft fuel at intermediate pressure these also provide motive flow for the ejector pumps located in the fuel tanks and these ejector pumps act as fuel boost pumps.

Fuel Metering Units

These are used in conjunction with the engine electronic control. They traditionally have no inherent computing capability and provide a fuel flow that is determined by the current signal generated by the engine electronic control.

The fuel metering unit can also provide a flow dividing function to the pilot and main burners. Alternatively independent flows dividers can be provided.
