  • Airbus Performs World's First Automatic Air-To-Air Refuelling Contact with Large Aircraft Receiver
    MILITARY AIRCRAFT Airbus performs world’s first automatic air-to-air refuelling contact with large aircraft receiver Royal Australian Air Force KC-30A acts as receiver from A310 tanker Madrid, 12 July 2018 – Airbus Defence and Space has followed its earlier achievement in demonstrating Automatic Air-to-Air (A3R) refuelling of a fighter with another world-first – the same operation performed with a large receiver aircraft. In a joint operation with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which is collaborating with Airbus in development of this pioneering technology, Airbus’ A310 company development tanker performed seven automatic contacts with a RAAF KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport, also made by Airbus. The system requires no additional equipment on the receiver and is intended to reduce refuelling boom operator workload, improve safety, and optimise the rate of air -to-air refuelling (AAR) in operational conditions to maximise aerial superiority. Airbus has begun work towards introducing the system on the current production A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (A330 MRTT). During initial approach of the receiver, boom control is performed by the tanker’s Air Refuelling Operator (ARO) as usual. Innovative passive techniques such as image processing are then used to determine the receiver’s refuelling receptacle position and when the automated system is activated, a fully automated flight control system flies and maintains the boom aligned with the receiver’s receptacle. The telescopic beam inside the boom can be controlled in a range of ways including: manually by the ARO; a relative distance-keeping mode; or full auto-mode to perform the contact.

  • Updated List of Noisy Aircraft Types
    List of Noisy Aircraft Types The following list addresses the requirement of Proposed Town Code §75- 38 A.(4)(a) for the Airport Director to maintain on the Town website a current list of “noisy aircraft” defined to be “any airplane or rotorcraft for which there is a published Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels (EPNdB) approach (AP) level of 91.0 or greater.” 1 The list is presented in terms of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aircraft type codes and an accompanying commonplace aircraft type description. Commonplace Aircraft Description ICAO Aircraft Note: Published data for shaded aircraft types include ranges of noise levels that extend across the 91.0 EPNdB threshold. These ranges result from multiple published noise levels for varying aircraft configurations (e.g., Type differing powerplants, maximum operating weights, etc.). For these types, aircraft owners must provide the Code Airport Director with noise level information from the individual aircraft’s flight manual, if the owner believes the aircraft in question should not be classified as noisy.
