An aircraft includes a first tank and a second tank each storing low-temperature liquid fuel; a pump that receives supply of the low-temperature liquid fuel from the first tank and the second tank; and a controller. Each of the first tank and the second tank is switched between a fuel supply phase of supplying the low-temperature liquid fuel to the pump and a temperature restoring phase of cooling the low-temperature liquid fuel in each of the first tank and the second tank. The controller switches between a first mode where the first tank is in the fuel supply phase and the second tank is in the temperature restoring phase, and a second mode where the first tank is in the temperature restoring phase and the second tank is in the fuel supply phase.
An aircraft that adopts low-temperature liquid fuel as an energy source, comprising:
A fuel supply method of supplying low-temperature liquid fuel stored in a first tank and a second tank to a pump connected to the first tank and the second tank, the fuel supply method comprising:
