Boeing C-17 - ground refuel time
Doing some research for a tv production and need to find out what the refuelling time from scratch to full tank is?

Or if anyone knows what the refuel rate from a tanker is?

I calculate that the c-17 has a fuel capacity of 90 tones or 29,500 gallons. The refuel rate on a commercial plane is 1 minute per tonne, but I doubt it takes 90minutes to refuel...?

Would be great if someone could give me an answer.

Thanks


Simon
