The aircraft turbine fuel system is one of the crucial systems in aircraft. The aircraft turbine fuel system manages the flow of fuel for optimum performance of the aircraft during various stages of flight, such as rapid maneuvering, changes in altitude, and sudden acceleration or deceleration. Initially, the aircraft turbine fuel system was manually operated manually by the flight operators; however, with the advancement in technology, self-calibrating aircraft turbine fuel system such as Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) were introduced in the market.
The aircraft turbine fuel system market is experiencing significant growth owing to increasing year on year government budgets for national security. Governments across the world are significantly investing on procurement of advanced state-of-the-art commercial as well as military aircraft fleet. To cater the dynamic challenges of defence industry, market players are investing on the development of robust and innovative systems. Additionally, growing commercial aviation industry owing to rise in disposable income among middle class population coupled with the growing MRO operation across the world is bolstering the growth of the aircraft production rate. This is reflecting rise in demand for aircraft turbine fuel system market. However, the disruption in the supply chain of aircraft systems and components, as well as, temporary shutdown of production of components and aircraft models due to the outbreak of COVID-19, have substantially impacted the adoption aircraft turbine fuel system.
