[Say Again Over]

Are those jet pumps AC or DC?

What is motive flow as it relates to a jet fuel system....thanks!

I'm surprised they didn't teach you that in the training you paid for.

LOL. I think they run off the 1.21 jigawatt essential buss. But only when the TRU capacitor is fluxing.

Motive flow? its fuel moving from the wing tanks to collector tanks to the engines in a continous flow.... But thats not important right now. Striker you've got to land this plane!

They everyday experience example I would give when discussing motive flow was the way liquid fertilizer or nutrients or herbicides would be applied to a lawn. You connect the hose to the top of a jar holding the fluid to be applied. As the water goes through a venturi in the top of the jar, the fluid is sucked out to go out with the water onto the lawn.

Same with motive flow with the jar being fuel tanks and the water hose being the line from the engine driven fuel pump.
