| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a system for performing refuelling operations, for lifting and launching an in-flight aircraft refuelling arm (6) between a tanker aircraft and a receiver aircraft, including a linking device (5) which can be connected to the arm (6) and a lifting/lowering device (14) for operating the linking device (5) and, consequently, the arm (6), such that, during refuelling, the arm (6) is lowered using the lifting/lowering device (14). The aforementioned linking device (5) includes connection means (7) capable of: disconnecting the arm (6) from the linking device (5), thereby enabling a refuelling operation to be performed with the arm in free flight; and connecting the arm (6) to the linking device (5), thereby facilitating the lifting of the arm (6). |
