Record 2 2012-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Operations (Air Forces)
CONT

Some Black Hawk models don’t need to land to refuel. They have an in-flight refueling probe. The probe allows the Black Hawks to refuel from a KC-130 tanker aircraft.

OBS

CF-18s often carry heavy munitions, which reduces the amount of fuel storage space. Inflight refuelling from tanker aircraft allows the Hornet to stay in the air longer before returning to base. The Hornet's extendable probe plugs into a hose at the rear of the tanker. Refuelling takes only a few minutes, but requires close-formation flying and a high degree of concentration from the pilot.

Key term(s)
  • inflight refuelling boom
  • in-flight refueling boom
  • inflight refueling boom

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
  • Opérations (Forces aériennes)
OBS

Le CF-18 transporte souvent de lourdes munitions, ce qui réduit l'espace de stockage du carburant. Le ravitaillement en vol, assuré par des avions de ravitaillement, permet au Hornet de voler plus longtemps avant de devoir revenir à la base. La perche télescopique du Hornet se raccorde à un boyau à l'arrière de l'avion de ravitaillement. Le ravitaillement se fait en seulement quelques minutes, mais le pilote doit voler en formation serrée, ce qui exige une très grande concentration de sa part.

Record 5 2012-10-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Suction defuelling can be accomplished with a fuel truck defuelling pump through the pressure fuelling receptacle. Suction defuelling can also be accomplished by inserting a suction hose through the overwing fill ports, but this method is only recommended as a last resort. Aircraft system pumps and suction defuelling performed simultaneously through the pressure fuelling receptacle will provide the highest flow rates possible and should be used when time is critical.

Record 6 2012-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A flexible tubing used in an aircraft plumbing system to allow relative movement between hose ends.

OBS

Because of the need for flexibility in many areas of aerospace vehicle construction, it is often necessary to employ hose instead of rigid tubing for the transmission of fluids and gases under pressure. Specifications for hose to be used in aerospace vehicle systems are given in the Air Force-Navy Aeronautical Design Standard(AND) 10340. This specification covers hoses for fuel, oil, hydraulic, pneumatic, and other systems. Hose and hose assemblies for aircraft plumbing systems are manufactured in four different pressure categories : low-pressure, with a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi [2068 kPa] ;medium-pressure(300 to 1500 psi) [2068 to 10 342 kPa] ;high pressure(1500 to 3000 psi) [10 342 to 20 685 kPa] ;and extra-high-pressure(3000 to 6000 psi) [20 865 to 41 370 kPa]. It must be noted that the pressure ranges given above are general and that variations will be encountered in specific systems and installations. Hose assemblies are usually pressure-tested at a pressure at least twice the maximum operating pressure. The burst pressure is usually required to be at least four times the maximum operating pressure. Thus a good margin of safety is provided.
