The video below shows a US Air Force KC-135R refueling Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 Hornet fighters using wing-mounted probe-and-drogue pods.

Using either an advanced aerial refueling boom, or a hose and drogue centerline refueling system, the KC-10 can refuel a wide variety of U.S. and allied military aircraft within the same mission.

The centerline drogue and wing aerial refueling pods are used to refuel aircraft fitted with probes. All aircraft will be configured for the installation of a multipoint refueling system.

Boeing is also working on the MQ-25 Stingray, an aircraft carrier-based unmanned aerial refueling system. The US Navy is planning to have the probe-and-drogue refueling drone integrated into a ...

The Navy wanted a better way to test fighter jets’ aerial refueling components, because old setups didn’t accurately simulate the impact between a jet’s probe and the refueling drogue. So ...

The Lockheed Martin KC-130T is the US Navy and US Marines ’ variant of the venerable C-130 Hercules. Its mission is aerial refueling (AR) for combat aircraft like jets and helicopters as well as ...

How does aerial refueling work, anyway? It’s like siphoning gas from a car traveling at 350 mph. The purpose of air refueling is to extend the natural range of an aircraft.

The recent order for a fleet of factory fresh air-to-air refueling aircraft for the Israel Air Force will give the Jewish state the ability to operate even further afield in the future.

The new MQ-25 unmanned tanker achieved the important milestone by refueling a U.S. Navy F/A-18F over Illinois. The MQ-25 Stingray performed the first ever air-to-air refueling operation between an ...

Research under SBIR topic N07-172 lead to the development of Actively Stabilized Refueling Drogue System (ASDRS) by Analytical Mechanical Associated (AMA); a system that is able to counteract ...

Here is how Aviation Week describes the future autonomous aerial refueling system. "The sequence will begin with the tanker and receiver UAV in parallel orbits.
