Hi Gums

The issue is with 3 rx on hoses at once. RH guy goes down 1000 if still lost contact the one on the left goes 500, so where does the one in the middle go? The ATP says 500 down which is...

Gums

The ac has wing pods, centre line drogue and boom. So in theory you could have say 3 FJs connected at the same time . The problem is that the safety procedures as written don't give the 3 rd...

So with a requirement to refuel 3 ac at once, was the USAF going to rewrite the appropriate safety procedures for ATP56; that would probably take longer than sorting out the KC46.

The RAF signed up to that one but I doubt anyone else would.

No sarcasm-not this time. Firstly study of post 1038 kindly added by Beagle shows that even a legacy aircraft has managed it. A quick search suggests that the V22 has a max cruise speed of 270...

The A330/Voyager/MRTT operate fully compliant with civilian performance-not the ancient rules applied to the KC135.

The only stopper for refuelling a V22 would be the AAR speed -is 180 KCAS...

Beags

The preference was to refuel one at a time on the HUD even allowing for swap over it was far quicker since the HDU had an off load rate 4 times that of the pod. The only time I remember...

Beags

I take it you were comparing the BDA on load with the Victor wing pod. If memory serves, by choice we used to refuel Phantoms on the HDU with a rate of 4500 lbs a min

SASless-MOD sort anything quickly??

PN

Apart from the 59 KC10s and the small no (20 wish?) MPR KC135s then. Not to mention the BDA option on the remaining 400 135s?
