    摘要: A method for remotely guiding a refueling boom of a tanker to engage with a fueling receptacle of an aircraft while the tanker and the aircraft are in flight. The method comprising: transmitting a polarized RF scanning pattern from one of the refueling boom and refueling receptacle; detecting the polarized RF scanning pattern at one or more cavity sensors disposed on the other of the refueling boom and the refueling receptacle; and controlling a position of the refueling boom relative to a position of the refueling receptacle based on the detected polarized RF scanning pattern at the one or more cavity sensors.

    摘要: The invention is a watercraft to aircraft refueling system (“WARS”). A WARS is a refueling system based from a watercraft, such as a surface ship or submarine. A WARS would typically include an elevation apparatus to lift a refueling hose above the water. The elevation apparatus can compose a lifting or swiveling mechanism. In some embodiments both a lifting and swiveling mechanism is used. The WARS lifts the refueling hose above the water, allowing an aircraft to engage with the WARS. The refueling hose may also include a telescoping mechanism or a rotor apparatus or a pressurized water nozzle system to elevate the refueling hose and assist in engaging a WARS with an aircraft.

    摘要: An assisted in-flight refueling system having a tanker aircraft equipped with a drogue; a fuel take-on aircraft equipped with a probe; and a drogue-probe coupling assist system designed to determine a first distance between the drogue and the take-on aircraft/probe, a second distance between the tanker aircraft and the drogue, and a third distance between the tanker aircraft and the take-on aircraft. The drogue-probe coupling assist system is also designed to determine information relative to the necessary movement of the drogue and/or the necessary movement of the take-on aircraft to couple the drogue to the probe, as a function of the first, second, and third distance.
