Best In-Flight Entertainment
Jet senior vice-president for sales & marketing, Colin Neubronner has said during the launch "JetScreen is live on six of our 75 narrow-body aircraft, and we hope to introduce the facility on all our planes (narrow-body) by March.
Technology Behind JetScreen
JetScreen puts the on-board wireless streaming technology to use for its working. The technology has been licensed from the American company Global Eagle Entertainment, which remains a Global Leader in media content. Courtesy of this, Jet Airways avails 220 hours of media to the fliers which includes movies, television shows, music and games.
How to Use JetScreen
To access JetScreen passengers will require a wireless-enabled device (802.11g/n) with a web browser. Further they will simply need to turn on Wi-Fi on their device while in Flight mode and join the JetScreen Wi-Fi network after which they will be asked to sign in to the network.
JetScreen Content
As mentioned above, JetScreen users will have access to a wide variety of content on-board like movies, music, games and TV. Under the movies section, JetScreen will offer some pretty renowned Bollywood and Hollywood titles.
Focusing on the pumping system
The second test was performed on the Safran Aerosystems site at Roche-La-Molière (Loire) where all of the fuel distribution systems are manufactured.
Next step: the Volcan project
The conclusions from the JETSCREEN project were submitted in 2020. This collaborative work resulted in the development of preliminary design tools making it possible to understand the way the fuel behaves with different equipment, and in the development of a fuel control platform.
Objective
The requested 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector in every EU member state by 2020 and the targeted 40% share of low carbon sustainable fuels in aviation by 2050 will necessitate the technical support for approval and production of new or existing renewable fuel blend stock.

How does a jet pump work?
A jet pump works by pulling the the water toward the surface instead of pulling it like submersible pump . It is a self-priming pump with no moving parts. This pump creates a fast jet of almost any liquid and drives another liquid by driving the pressure recovery in the diffuser.
How tall is a shallow well jet pump?
These pumps are suitable for reservoirs or wells with a total pump height of no more than 5.5m. The shallow well jet pump uses for purposes where the medium is close to the surface, e.g., residential wells.
How does a downhole jet pump work?
Downhole jet pump. The jet water pump uses unbalanced air pressure in its working. Its working is very similar as liquid sucks up by a straw. First of all, the pump fills with water. After coupling, the pump impeller rotates and lets water and air bubbles through.
How many suction pipes does a jet pump use?
It also uses when the pump is above the water source. The convertible jet pump uses two suction pipes to pump water out of the well. As the name of this pump suggests, you can connect the jet assembly to a suction tube and convert it into a shallow bore jet pump.
Why is the efficiency of a jet pump lower than that of a normal centrifugal pump?
The mixture of the velocity and the in let pressure of the gases or fluids causes the medium to flow out of the pit, storage tank, or well through the pump up to the outlet point. Due to some reasons like friction loss , the efficiency of the jet pump is lower than that of a normal centrifugal pump.
What is a turbine pump?
A turbine pump is a centrifugal pump that is essentially installed underwater and connected to an electric motor (install on the water surface) with the help of a shaft. Turbo pumps have high efficiency and mainly use for large pumping functions.
How does the Venturi effect work?
The pressure difference created by the Venturi effect draws liquid from the reservoir to the jet pump. Venturi can be separated from each other by a certain distance. The drive fluid and the stored fluid mix, and the pressure rises with decreasing velocity through the flow path of the increasing area.
Testing The Limits of Gaging
- “Several types of sustainable fuels can be used in aviation, each with a chemical composition and physical characteristics which differ from those of kerosene. However, our fuel systems have been designed for and operate based on the physical characteristics of kerosene” explains Thierry Rouge-Carrassat, innovation director at Safran Aerosystems. “As part of JETSCREEN, we have s…
Focusing on The Pumping System
- The second test was performed on the Safran Aerosystems site at Roche-La-Molière (Loire) where all of thefuel distribution systemsare manufactured. “We converted a test bench to monitor the behavior of pumps, valves and taps operating with SAFs”, continues Gilles Saint-Aubin. In a tank which can hold between 500 and 2,000 liters of fuel, the teams ran the fuel pumps with SAF…
Next Step: The Volcan Project
- The conclusions from the JETSCREEN project were submitted in 2020. This collaborative work resulted in the development of preliminary design tools making it possible to understand the way the fuel behaves with different equipment, and in the development of a fuel control platform. The next step is to now take the collection of technical data furthe...
