Methods and systems for supplying water to an aircraft

A method for supplying water to an aircraft, comprising:

• determining a desired amount of water to be contained in a water storage tank onboard the aircraft;
• supplying water via a supply line to the water storage tank;
• determining that an amount of water contained in the water storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of water contained in the water storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water, diverting the supply of water away from the water storage tank and to an overflow line.

A system for supplying water to an aircraft, comprising:

• a water supply assembly;
• a water storage tank fluidly coupled to the water supply assembly;
• an overflow line fluidly coupled to the water supply assembly;
• one or more of a water level sensor and a flow meter for determining an amount of water in the water storage tank;
• and
• one or more processors communicative with the one or more of the water level sensor and the flow meter and configured to:
• determine a desired amount of water to be contained in the water storage tank;
• determine from the one or more of the water level sensor and the flow meter that the amount of water in the water storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of water in the storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water, transmit an instruction for causing water being supplied from the water supply assembly to the water storage tank to be diverted away from the water storage tank and to the overflow line.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer program code, wherein the computer program code is configured, when executed by a computer, to cause the computer to carry out a method comprising:

• determining a desired amount of water to be contained in a water storage tank;
• determining an amount of water contained in the water storage tank;
• determining that the amount of water in the water storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of water in the water storage tank corresponds to the desired amount of water, transmitting an instruction for causing a supply of water to the water storage tank to be diverted away from the water storage tank and to an overflow line.
