Further development of this trend data is envisaged to make it available via a cloud-based portal to enable operators to make more informed choices regarding their routeplanning and refuelling operations which will provide anticipated cost savings and improved efficiencies. The key fuel properties currently used by the refuelling industry will be established and available sensors evaluated for suitability for use in this system. Additional parameters that would add value would be identified and if sensors are not available then the technical requirements for the sensors required will be developed as part of a follow-on project. Based on the information we gain from this proof of market study the technical requirements around packaging and communicating remotely with multiple, electronic-based sensors into a fuel dispensing system will be determined. The project will consider the aviation regulatory authorities’ requirements around aircraft fuelling requirements, their minor global implementation variations and how these need to be considered in developing an integrated sensor pack for monitoring fuel properties in real-time
