In-flight refueling system, damping device and method for damping oscillations in in-flight refueling system components

摘要: An in-flight refueling system, damping device and method are provided for substantially reversing a change in the disposition of an elongate hose (114) extending from first aircraft (110) during operation. The various embodiments present invention provide compact, lightweight, easily installed (150) that may act to minimize occurrence oscillations within produce hose. In addition, facilitate detuning and, instance, attached drogue (118) oscillate uncontrollably at resonant frequency response aerodynamic forces exerted on
