How does the helicopter refuel? Is it possible to connect the tanker to the plane?
Pipeline fueling shortens the fueling time, reduces fuel evaporation and pollution, may be safe and efficient, but the cost of building pipelines, fueling wells, and buying pipeline refuelling vehicles is expensive. Before the plane refueling, a special staff to test the oil, in order to ensure that qualified fuel.
The tank refueling fuel from the oil storage tank to transport truck, drove to the next refueling tanker aircraft, in its capacity as the standard size from 1200 liters to 85000 liters. Pipeline refueling vehicle is the fuel from the oil storage pipeline through the underground pipeline to the apron of the refueling well, the use of refueling hose connected to the oil well, refueling aircraft with the way the joint refueling.
The plane has special planes for refueling in flight. There are special cars at the airport. The aircraft uses very light oil4., the aircraft's oil is stored in the wings, waiting for passengers when refueling by refueling vehicles, at the terminal building of the airport can be seen.5., the aircraft is a big fish to drink oil, the largest aircraft, Boeing 747-400, a refueling more than 170 tons. Therefore, aircraft refueling has its own characteristics. There are two ways to refuel aircraft, one is under the wing refueling, and the other is refueling on the wing. The main mode of using wing refueling is small aircraft, large aircraft are under the wing refueling methods. Tanker, sub tank, tanker and pipeline refueling vehicles two.
Flying planes flying in the sky can refuel in the air except for refueling on the ground. Air refueling is currently divided into two types of hard tube refueling and hose refueling.
Planes on the ground and civil aircraft flying in the sky come on the ground filling equipment (tanker, refueling platform) to refuel.
