A low cost, integrated, aircraft fuel management system. A system control unit receives engine variable signals and provides a signal to a motor control unit which thereby controls a variable speed motor. The motor drives a positive displacement pump which delivers and meters fuel to a slinger type turbine engine capable of handling slurry fuels. In a preferred embodiment, compressor discharge pressure (CDP) is supplied to the airframe fuel reservoir thereby pressurizing the fuel supply and minimizing the power requirements of the motor driving the fuel pump.
