Abstract: A fuel system for a vehicle having an engine is provided. The fuel system including: a fuel tank for holding a hydrogen fuel in a liquid phase; a fuel delivery assembly extending from the fuel tank to the engine for providing the hydrogen fuel from the fuel tank to the engine; a vaporizer in communication with the fuel delivery assembly for heating the hydrogen fuel in the liquid phase to a gaseous phase, to a supercritical phase, or both; and a high pressure pump in fluid communication with the fuel delivery assembly at a location downstream of the vaporizer for inducing a flow of the hydrogen fuel through the fuel delivery assembly to the engine.

Abstract: A fuel supply system for a turbine engine that provides a modulated thrust control malfunction accommodation (TCMA). The fuel supply system can include a fuel line that fluidly connects a fuel tank and the turbine engine. A fuel pump and a fuel metering valve can be fluidly connected to the fuel line. A bypass line can fluidly connect to the fuel line. Flow through the bypass line can be controlled using a bypass valve and a balancing pressure valve. The TCMA can then modulate the fuel flow using the valves.
