摘要： A refueling boom is described. The refueling boom includes a non-telescoping portion configured to be coupled to a fuel tanker vehicle and a telescoping portion that is extendable and retractable relative to the non-telescoping portion. The telescoping portion includes a fuel nozzle. The refueling boom also includes a wireless communication system operable to enable wireless communication between a first location of the telescoping portion to a second location of the non-telescoping portion. The refueling boom also includes a control unit coupled to the telescoping portion. The control unit is operable to send first information to the fuel tanker vehicle via the wireless communication system and to receive second information from the fuel tanker vehicle via the wireless communication system.

摘要： Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize the escape of fuel out of a fuel tank when a tank wall is penetrated by a bullet. In one embodiment, a pressure differential may be maintained between a pressure within a fuel tank cavity and another pressure outside the fuel tank cavity in order to minimize the loss of fuel upon penetration of the fuel tank. In another embodiment, a compressed rubber layer of fuel-reactive rubber may be provided which is adapted to be attached to a fuel tank wall and to swell upon contact with fuel in order to substantially seal a penetrated hole in the fuel tank wall.

摘要： Provided are shrouded adapter assemblies for coupling together a first conduit and a second conduit. The conduits may both be single-walled or one may be shrouded. Thus, the first conduit may include an inner conduit and an outer conduit with a conduit annular space between the inner conduit and the outer conduit. The adapter assembly may include a first adapter body having a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to receive an end of the inner conduit of the first conduit, and to receive an end of the outer conduit of the first conduit. The adapter assembly also includes a second adapter body having a first end and a second end, where the first end of the second adapter body is configured to receive an end of the second conduit. The adapter assembly further includes a clamp operatively engaging and clamping the second end of the first adapter body to the second end of the second adapter body. The first adapter body and the second adapter body are each configured to provide fluid communication between the second conduit and the inner conduit and to isolate the conduit annular space from the second conduit and from the inner conduit.

摘要： Apparatus and methods described herein provide for a boom/receiver-type aerial refueling system having a pressure regulator integrated into the system at the tanker boom nozzle. During refueling operations, pressure of the fuel at the interface between the nozzle at the distal end of the boom assembly and the fuel receptacle of the receiving aircraft is maintained by an integrated pressure regulator integrated into the nozzle or located inline of the fuel flow between the boom assembly and the nozzle. The integrated pressure regulator maintains the pressure of the fuel at the nozzle within a defined range regardless of the elevation azimuth of the boom assembly, the extended length of the telescoping extension, the temperature of the outside air or surfaces of the boom, and other factors that may affect the flow of fuel through the boom.
