摘要: A variety of refueling devices, systems and methods are disclosed for use in in-flight refueling. In one example such device is towed by a tanker aircraft via fuel hose at least during refueling, has boom member with axis. The enables to be transferred from the receiver along axis maintains desired non-zero angular disposition between forward direction when hose.
