Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a device for regulating the flow rate of fuel taken from a fuel circuit of an aircraft propelled by an engine. The device comprises: a positive displacement pump receiving fuel from a fuel circuit of the aircraft and delivering fuel at a flow rate that is proportional to its speed of rotation; a differential gear having a predefined transmission ratio, a first inlet mechanically coupled to the aircraft engine, a second inlet mechanically coupled to an electric motor/generator, and an outlet mechanically coupled to the positive displacement pump to drive it in rotation; and an electronic control system for regulating the speed of rotation of the electric motor/generator as a function of a setpoint value for the flow rate of fuel to be injected. |
