A refueling pod for a tanker aircraft is used to refuel a receptor aircraft (while it is in the air using a hose and drogue device . The refueling pod is mounted on a wing of the tanker aircraft and has two sections: a first section with a streamlined shape that houses the hose and drogue device's main handling equipment, and a second section with an opening.
Better stability is specifically guaranteed during deployment, operation, and hose rewind free of drogue strikes, at various hose lengths from initial rewind to full hose extension, in both free air or while in-contact with the receiver aircraft, including wet or dry hose deployment/retraction.
The Global Wing air refueling pods market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A modern aerial refueling system is the 48" Series Wing Air Refueling Pod. The Wing Air Refueling Pod offers probe and drogue refueling from Tanker aircraft to Receiver aircraft. On KC-130, HC-130, and MC-130 tanker aircraft, it is standard equipment. To make up for fuel pressure losses in the system, it has an electric-driven fuel boost pump.
The wing pod has a port for rapid ground refueling, which permits refueling of vehicles, aircraft, or fuel cells on the ground, as well as emergency facilities for hose guillotine, jettison, and sealing.The hose reel has withstood the test of time for fifty (50) years and offers utmost dependability.
Strategic and tactical tankers are outfitted with Eaton's wing air refueling pods, which enable two probe-equipped aircraft to refill simultaneously. The pods can run on aircraft power or on their own ram air turbine-powered drogue refueling system and fuel boost pump. Wing air refueling pods can be incorporated into brand-new aircraft concepts or used to modify existing ones.
With a drogue refueling system and an integrated fuel boost pump, Eaton's wing air refueling pods can transfer fuel at rates of up to 450 USGPM (1703 liters per minute) at 45 to 55 PSI (310 to 379 kPa).
