Meggitt (Booth No. 5189) is unveiling a new smart fuel probe that will give operators greater certainty over their aircraft’s current fuel reserves, as well as offer better reliable and easier maintainability.

The company has developed a device that uses time domain reflectometry (TDR) to send fuel data to the cockpit via digital buses, a first for civil aviation, it claims. According to Meggitt Sensing Systems vice president Stuart Parker, the smart probe is a big leap forward from existing fuel probes, which he said are barely more sophisticated than a lavatory sistern float.
