Book Synopsis Dynamic Coupling of the KC-135 Tanker and Boom for Modeling and Simulation by : Austin L. Smith
Download or read book Dynamic Coupling of the KC-135 Tanker and Boom for Modeling and Simulation written by Austin L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current Automated Aerial Refueling (AAR) research requires precision modeling and simulation of the refueling process between a KC-135 tanker aircraft and an unmanned aircraft. In order to meet this requirement, both steady-state and dynamic interactions between the tanker aircraft, the refueling boom, and the receiver aircraft must be accurately represented. Boom orientation and motion is known to change the trim of the tanker aircraft, which in turn influences the formation flying and station keeping tasks involved in current Air Force AAR concepts of operation. This paper describes the development of the coupled equations of motion for the refueling boom, which model its motion and its dynamic interactions with the tanker. For the purposes of this investigation, and to validate the boom model dynamics, the coupled boom model is first implemented as a boom-only simulation. The coupled model is compared to two existing boom-only models: one of which has been used for aerial refueling improvement studies, and the other is currently being used for boom operator training. Steady-state and dynamic responses to control inputs to the boom are calculated by the coupled boom model, then compared to those calculated using the existing models.
Book Synopsis The Matter Of Refueling by : Roland Vent
Download or read book The Matter Of Refueling written by Roland Vent and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerial refueling, also referred to as air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), air-to-air refueling (AAR), and tanking, is the process of transferring aviation fuel from one military aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight.[1] The two main refueling systems are probe-and-drogue, which is simpler to adapt to existing aircraft, and the flying boom, which offers faster fuel transfer, but requires a dedicated boom operator station. This book tells the story of flying the C-7A Caribou in South Vietnam in 1970-71, and subsequent temporary duty tours flying KC-135 Stratotankers in support of air operations over North Vietnam in 1972. These are the experiences of a young Air Force officer and pilot, fresh out of pilot training, who is sent to Vietnam at a time when the U.S. role in the war was changing, but hostile enemy action and dangerous flying conditions remained constant companions.

Book Synopsis Boom Operator Part-Task Trainer: Test and Evaluation of the Transfer of Training by :
Download or read book Boom Operator Part-Task Trainer: Test and Evaluation of the Transfer of Training written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the rationale, methodology and results of a study of the training capabilities of the Boom Operator Part-Task Trainer (BOPPT), an air refueling simulator. The study was performed as part of an Air Force Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT & E) of the device. Actually, three transfer of training sub-studies were conducted simultaneously: the first with undergraduate boom operators in the Combat Crew Training Squadron (CCTS) phase of instruction; the second with instructor boom operators in the Central Flight Instructor Course (CFIC); and the third with highly experienced boom operators who were maintaining essential skills. In the CCTS application, it was found that all student groups trained in the BOPTT required significantly fewer air refueling attempts (50 versus 71) to reach proficiency in KC-135A air refueling skills than did conventionally trained students. In boom operations, procedures, and communications, the BOPTT trained students were equal or superior to the students in the standard syllabus. Also, proper utilization of the BOPTT could avoid over one million dollars in training costs per year.

Book Synopsis History of Air-To-Air Refuelling by : Richard Tanner
Download or read book History of Air-To-Air Refuelling written by Richard Tanner and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-09-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique account of the development and operational use of air-to-air flight refuelling since its early beginnings in the USA and the UK to the equipment that is in use today. The author draws upon his life-long career as senior design engineer with the successful British company In-Flight Refuelling who were responsible for the development of the hose and drogue technique now preferred by many of the world's air forces. The story begins in the early 1920s when the art of air refuelling was part of the Barn Storming record-breaking attempts that were popular in the USA. It continues into the late thirties when successful experiments were made. Amazingly, the Royal Air Force were not interested in pursuing this great technical advantage during World War II and it was the USAAF who requested the British invention to experiment with on their B-17s and B-24s. The Korean War saw extended use of operational air-to-air refuelling for the first time and now the 'tanker fleet' is an essential unit in major air-forces around the world.
Book Synopsis Inflight Refueling Operator Career Ladder, AFSCs 11230, 11250, 11270, 11290 by : AIR FORCE OCCUPATIONAL MEASUREMENT CENTER LACKLAND AFB TEX.
Download or read book Inflight Refueling Operator Career Ladder, AFSCs 11230, 11250, 11270, 11290 written by AIR FORCE OCCUPATIONAL MEASUREMENT CENTER LACKLAND AFB TEX. and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report of an occupational survey of the Inflight Refueling Operator career ladder (AFSCs 11230, 11250, 11270, 11290) completed by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center in August 1978. This is the first occupational survey of this career ladder. The personnel assigned to the Inflight Refueling Operator career ladder are primarily assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and are qualified on the KC-135 aircraft. As the USAF single manager for inflight refueling, SAC provides inflight refueling for all USAF aircraft. The inflight refueling operator's primary job is to assist the pilot in conducting the air refueling. The inflight refueling operator, commonly referred to as the 'boom operator', visually or verbally directs the receiver aircraft pilot into the refueling envelope and then uses the static boom or the drogue to conduct refueling. Additionally the boom operator serves as loadmaster when the aircraft is carrying cargo or passengers.

Download or read book Briefing on Air Force's Response on Fee-for-service Aerial Refueling written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 1081 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 calls for the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of utilizing commercial fee-for-service air refueling tanker aircraft for Air Force operations. Air refueling occurs using two methods: flying boom or probe and drogue Boom in-flight air refueling is accomplished by the Boom Operator, flying the tanker's refueling boom into the receiver's receptacle. Once connected, the tanker pumps fuel from its fuel tanks into the receiver's fuel tanks. This is the primary method used by the Air Force. Probe and drogue air refueling is accomplished by a probe-equipped receiver flying the receiver aircraft's probe into the tanker's drogue, a basket attached to the end of a flexible hose or the tankers boom. Once connected, the tanker transfers fuel to the receiver aircraft. This is the method used by the Navy. There are no commercial boom-equipped refueling aircrafts. The fee-for-service air refueling pilot program anticipates an 18 to 36 month preparatory period during which a boom-equipped air refueling aircraft will be developed.
