[0051] Before the fuel system works, the manual valve 4 is opened, the first electromagnetic valve 1 and the second electromagnetic valve 2 are opened through the external power supply, and the whole fuel system is in a communication state.

[0052] All the air in the oil tank and the oil pipe is extracted through the oil filling / extraction port 3, and after being extracted to vacuum, fuel is filled through the oil filling / extraction port 3. The first electromagnetic valve 1, the second electromagnetic valve 2 and the manual valve 4 are kept open during the filling process, and after the filling is completed, the oil filling / extraction port 3 is closed, the manual valve 4 is closed, and the power supply of the first electromagnetic valve 1 and the second electromagnetic valve 2 is disconnected.

[0053] When the fuel system works, the flight control unit 17 controls the fuel pump 6 to be opened through the fuel controller 7, the fuel system is pressurized, and the fuel in the pressurized oil tank 16 flows to the engine pump 10 through the oil filter 8 and the flow meter 9, and then flows to the front of the third electromagnetic valve 11.

[0054] When the turbojet engine 18 starts to work, the ECU 19 supplies power to the engine pump 10 and the third electromagnetic valve 11, the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank flows into the pressurized fuel tank 16 through the fuel pump 6, and the fuel in the pressurized fuel tank 16 flows into the turbojet engine 18 through the engine pump 10 and the third electromagnetic valve 11 after being pressurized twice by the engine pump 10, at this time, the fuel consumed is the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank, and the center of mass of the whole aircraft constantly moves backward with the consumption of the fuel.

[0055] The flowmeter 9 sends the current flow value to the fuel controller 7 in real time, and the current remaining fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank is calculated by the flight control unit 17 in real time, when the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank is about to be consumed, the flight control unit 17 controls the first electromagnetic valve 1 to open through the fuel controller 7, and the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank and the fuel in the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks begin to supply fuel together, and the fuel flows into the engine through the third electromagnetic valve 11 after being pressurized by the fuel pump 6 and the engine pump 10, after the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank is consumed, the fuel is supplied by the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks, at this time, the fuel consumed is the fuel in the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks, and the center of mass of the whole aircraft constantly moves backward with the consumption of the fuel.

[0056] Similarly, the remaining fuel in the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks is calculated by the flight control unit 17 in real time, when the fuel in the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks is about to be consumed, the flight control unit 17 controls the second electromagnetic valve 2 to open through the fuel controller 7, and the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks and the No. 6 to No. 9 fuel tanks begin to supply fuel together, and the fuel flows into the turbojet engine 18 through the third electromagnetic valve 11 after being pressurized by the fuel pump 6 and the engine pump 10, after the fuel in the No. 2 to No. 5 fuel tanks is consumed, the fuel is supplied by the No. 6 to No. 9 fuel tanks, at this time, the fuel consumed is the fuel in the No. 6 to No. 9 fuel tanks, and the center of mass of the whole aircraft constantly moves forward with the consumption of the fuel.

[0057] After the turbojet engine 18 stops working, the ECU 19 controls the engine pump 10 and the third electromagnetic valve 11 to be powered off, the fuel in the pressurized fuel tank 16 no longer flows into the turbojet engine 18, and the flight control unit 17 controls the first electromagnetic valve 1, the second electromagnetic valve 2 and the fuel pump 6 to be powered off through the fuel controller 7, and the fuel system stops working.

[0058] After the fuel system stops working, the add / drain port 3 is opened, the manual valve 4 is opened, the first electromagnetic valve 1 and the second electromagnetic valve 2 are opened through an external power supply, the remaining fuel is discharged through the add / drain port 3, and then the add / drain port 3 is closed, the manual valve 4 is closed, and the fuel system is completed.

[0061] Step 2, the flight control unit 17 calculates the current remaining oil quantity of the No. 1 oil tank according to the oil consumption of the turbojet engine 18, when the current remaining oil quantity of the No. 1 oil tank is less than the preset minimum oil quantity, the flight control unit 17 controls the first electromagnetic valve 1 to open and the second electromagnetic valve 2 to keep closed through the fuel controller 7, first supplies oil to the fuel pump 6 through the No. 1 oil tank and the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks together, and then supplies oil to the fuel pump 6 through the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks alone after the oil in the No. 1 oil tank is consumed, controls the target mass center to move backward, and reduces the stability influence caused by the focus point moving backward due to supersonic flight.

[0062] Step 3, the flight control unit 17 calculates the current remaining oil quantity of the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks according to the oil consumption of the turbojet engine 18, when the current remaining oil quantity of the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks is less than the preset minimum oil quantity, the flight control unit 17 controls the second electromagnetic valve 2 to open through the fuel controller 7, first supplies oil to the fuel pump 6 through the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks and the No. 6 to No. 9 oil tanks together, and then supplies oil to the fuel pump 6 through the No. 6 to No. 9 oil tanks alone after the oil in the No. 2 to No. 5 oil tanks is consumed, until the target is recovered.
