One end of the second conveying pipeline 5 is communicated with the bottom outlet of the rear storage tank 3, and the other end of the second conveying pipeline 5 is communicated with the top inlet of the central storage tank 2. An air inlet channel 6 is communicated with the front storage tank 1 and the rear storage tank 3, pressure gas is suitable to be introduced into the side storage tank through the air inlet channel 6, and the fuel oil in the side storage tank is converged towards the center storage tank 2 through the pressure gas. So that when fuel is supplied, the fuel in the front tank 1 and the rear tank 3 is consumed first, keeping the central tank 2 full, and thus maintaining the centre of gravity of the aircraft stable.
As shown in fig. 1, the intake passages 6 of the front tank 1 and the rear tank 3 are communicated to equalize the gas pressures for driving the fuel in the front tank 1 and the rear tank 3, so that the fuel in the front tank 1 and the rear tank 3 is automatically balanced, and the use of an active regulation system is reduced. One end of the air inlet channel 6 is communicated with a low-pressure compressor of an engine 7 of the aircraft. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the air intake passage 6 may also be in communication with a blast of air introduced at the rear end of the fan, for supplying pressurized air to the front tank 1 and the rear tank 3. The gas temperature at the position of the engine 7 is low, and the temperature requirement of the supercharged gas can be met.
The air inlet channel 6 is provided with a pressure reducer 8 which is used for controlling the pressure of air entering the front storage tank 1 and the rear storage tank 3 so as to meet the requirement of the inlet pressure of the fuel pump.
It should be noted that: the low pressure compressor is the first compressor to compress the gas stream to a low exit pressure in a two or three spool gas turbine engine 7. The engine 7 includes, from front to rear: the device comprises an air inlet channel, a fan, a low-pressure compressor, a medium-pressure compressor, a high-pressure compressor, a combustion chamber, a high-pressure turbine, a low-pressure turbine, a tail pipe and a spray pipe.

When the fuel in the central storage tank 2 is sufficient, the fuel can be directly supplied to the engine 7 through the central storage tank 2; when the fuel in the central reservoir 2 is insufficient, or when the aircraft is in maneuver (e.g. high attitude flight) and the engine 7 is in transition (e.g. deceleration) operation, the electric valve 11 of the anti-negative-overload tank 9 is opened, and fuel can be supplied to the engine 7 through the anti-negative-overload tank 9.
The top of the anti-negative overload box 9 is provided with an air release valve 14, and when the pressure of bubbles generated in the anti-negative overload box 9 is large, the air can be discharged through the air release valve 14.
