The aircraft fuel control system makes sure an engine has the precise amount of fuel required to generate power and thrust for every stage of flight.

A critical aspect of the MRO service is the test performed to validate the airworthiness of a fuel control system before it returns to service.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2009.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 43-45).<br>In recent years, the price of oil has driven large fluctuations in the price of diesel fuel, which is an important cost component in freight logistics. This thesis explores the impact of fuel price volatility on supply chains by examining the sensitivity of decisions under various scenarios. Specifically, we analyze the transportation mode choice decision between truckload and intermodal (truck combined with rail) transportation usi

Deciding how to navigate this tradeoff, between cost and waste, is a central challenge for stewards of nuclear power. It is made more difficult by uncertainties that characterize the global future of nuclear electricity generation. The recent increase in concern about climate change has prompted
