Aircraft Fuel Pumps

AeroControlex is a leading designer and manufacturer of aircraft fuel pumps for the aerospace market. Our products are customized to meet new development requirements and solve existing problems.

AeroControlex has extensive experience in the design and manufacture of aircraft fuel pumps for transfer, jettison and boost applications. These pumps are either shaft or electric motor driven, and often designed as modules to incorporate numerous other functions such as bypass, relief, and pressure. Each aircraft fuel pump is designed and sized to meet the flow and pressure requirements needed while optimizing weight, envelope, power draw and durability. Please see the table below for the typical operating parameters of these pumps.
