The difference however, is not limited to what meets the eye, it isn’t just the big beautiful P&W engines and the fancy sharklets. The NEO also gets modification in various aircraft systems; fuel, F/CTL, pneumatic, to name a few. Now, I particularly liked the changes they made in the fuel system.The prime focus has always been to reduce weight, increase robustness of any system on the aircraft. In case of the fuel system, they have always wanted to ensure fuel feed segregation during critical gases of the flight i.e. Take off and landing, and that the CTR TK fuel is consumed first. To ensure that fuel feed segregation happens during the critical phase of the flight and that fuel from CTR TK are consumed first they put a logic in place : Fuel from the CTR TK is consumed first Whenever the slats are extended, which they are for T/O or landing, the CTR pumps stop to ensure that fuel to engines is supp...
