AFTC-not only JP-8 fuel-and not just a pump either:
The CEO is one of the original inventors & developers of this injector.
Words from AFT CEO from 8 months ago:
Our Phase 2 program is based on using an advanced (new) version of our DME fuel pump, a unique new common rail and a modified Navistar hydraulically intensified injector. The pump, although similar in concept to our proven DME pump, has a 25% larger displacement, and can run at up to 4000 rpm. It is physically smaller, lower cost and more robust than our previous pumps. It is capable of pumping lube oil (for the Army
project), hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, JP-8 and DME at pressures above 500 Bar (7500-8000 psi). It is an inlet throttled design that provides infinitely variable flow output without mechanical complexity. Therefore, it should be attractive to both the fuel
injection and industrial hydraulics market.
This pump is well suited for intensified fuel injection systems (JP-8, diesel & DME) and for industrial and aerospace
hydraulics applications.
