| 20110001011 | Assisted In-Flight Refuelling System - An assisted in-flight refuelling system having a tanker aircraft equipped with a drogue; a fuel take-on aircraft equipped with a probe; and a drogue-probe coupling assist system designed to determine a first distance between the drogue and the take-on aircraft/probe, a second distance between the tanker aircraft and the drogue, and a third distance between the tanker aircraft and the take-on aircraft. The drogue-probe coupling assist system is also designed to determine information relative to the necessary movement of the drogue and/or the necessary movement of the take-on aircraft to couple the drogue to the probe, as a function of the first, second, and third distance. | 01-06-2011 |
