Grob Selects ELDEC for Fuel Quantity Gauging Systems

Grob Selects ELDEC for Fuel Quantity Gauging Systems
ELDEC (Lynnwood, WA) has been selected to provide fuel quantity gauging systems for three new aircraft GROB aircraft programs. ELDEC France will design and manufacture systems for the G120, G122 and G350 aircraft.

The G120, a single-engine aerobatics training aircraft, will have a fuel quantity gauging system consisting of four fuel probes and a computer. The G-122, which will be used for civil and military observation missions, is the same size as the G120, but will be equipped with long-endurance fuel tanks that require a larger fuel quantity system with eight fuel probes and a computer.

The largest of the three aircraft, the G350 business aircraft, will have 16 fuel probes, two low-level sensors and a computer. First prototype sets for each aircraft will be delivered later this year.
