Aircraft fuel system is one of the largest and complex fluid system in any aircraft, so the aircraft fuel system needs special attention in its design and modelling with precise control over the system. In the subsystem of aircraft fuel system lies the aircraft refuelling system. This paper aims for the appropriate model for the aircraft refuelling system with the proper sequence of filling of aircraft in order to minimise the centre of gravity variation due to incoming fuel in an aircraft. Before modelling of aircraft refuelling system the volumetric design and shape for the aircraft fuel tanks is finalised. The components used in the aircraft refuelling system and their parametric information are also mentioned in this paper. The software used for the component modelling and for complete system design is LMS AMESIM. This paper aims in finalizing the complete model for aircraft refuelling system after carrying out number of iterations. This involves sequence optimization by finalizing the sequence of filling of aircraft fuel tanks. Simultaneously among these iterations the best model will be chosen based on the minimum variation of the centre of gravity due to addition of fuel inside the fuel tank.
