Global Aircraft Fuel Systems Markets 2017-2021 - Fuel Injection, Pump Feed Fuel & Gravity Feed Fuel Systems

The global aircraft fuel systems market to grow at a CAGR of 6.30% during the period 2017-2021.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global aircraft fuel systems market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report presents a detailed picture of the market by way of study, synthesis, and summation of data from multiple sources. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is implementation of additive manufacturing. Airbus has been progressing steadily with additive manufacturing and its implementation in aircraft. 3D-printed plastic parts have already been incorporated in the Airbus A350 jet. In the new Airbus A350 XWB, the company plans to integrate parts printed with titanium.

According to the report, one driver in the market is need for aircraft weight reduction. Fuel roughly accounts for 30% of an airlines' operational cost and, therefore, the demand for fuel-efficient aircraft is high. Aircraft manufacturers are increasingly integrating advanced lightweight materials (like composites) in both structural and semi-structural components to reduce the weight of aircraft and consequently, improve fuel efficiency. Composites allow a longer flight range and greater payload capacity. They exhibit high strength-to-weight ratio and provide a weight saving of 20%-50% in comparison to metal alloys.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is water ingress from fuel tanks. The most common cause of water ingress in fuel tanks is the dripping fuel covers during rain, which leads to compression inside the tank as water mixes with fuel. To address such challenges, Airbus Operations filed a patent on a method of introducing dehumidified air into aircraft fuel tank through a ventilation system. The process involves bringing atmospheric air from the vent in contact with a refrigerating element to remove the moisture from the air. This will affect the life of the fuel systems due to the entry of the water molecules into the fuel tanks.
