  • Air Force Air Refueling: the KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program
    Order Code RL34398 Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Updated June 23, 2008 William Knight, Christopher Bolkcom, and Daniel H. Else Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Summary KC-X is the first of three planned programs intended to recapitalize the Air Force’s air refueling fleet. Eventually, the KC-X program is expected to acquire 179 new, commercial off-the-shelf airliners modified to accomplish air refueling. The program is expected to cost approximately $35 billion. Both Boeing and a consortium consisting of Northrop Grumman and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) — the parent company of Airbus — were in competition for KC-X. Boeing offered a variant of the 767-200, while Northrop Grumman submitted a version of the Airbus 330-200. On February 29, 2008, the Air Force awarded the KC-X contract to Northrop Grumman. The initial $12.1 billion KC-X contract covers purchase the first 68 KC-45s of the anticipated 179 aircraft. Boeing protested the Air Force’s decision to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). GAO announced its sustainment of the Boeing protest on June 18, 2008. Air Force in-flight aerial refueling aircraft, often referred to as “tankers,” provide both persistence and range to Department of Defense (DOD) fighters, bombers, airlift and surveillance aircraft. As such, the Air Force’s tanker fleet greatly multiplies the effectiveness of DOD air power across the continuum of military operations. Today, the KC-135, which makes up the preponderance of the Air Force’s tanker force, is among the Air Force’s oldest aircraft.

    C-130 HERCULES ONE AIRCRAFT, MANY CAPABILITIES New Acquisition - Support - Sustainment WORKHORSE. RUGGED. RELIABLE. PROVEN. DEPENDABLE. VERSATILE. TOUGH. IRREPLACEABLE. For the past six decades, many words have been used to describe the C-130 Hercules. But they all translate to the same fact: THERE IS ONLY ONE HERCULES. The C-130 goes where other aircraft don’t. It supports more missions than any other aircraft in the skies. It lands where other airlifters can’t. From the highest airstrip in the Himalayan Mountains to 21 full-stop landings on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean… From landscapes destroyed by forces of nature to delivering life-saving supplies to people in dire circumstances… From critical forward operating bases to airfields damaged by natural disasters… From transporting much-needed cargo to bringing loved ones home… No matter the mission. No matter the task. The C-130 has done it, is doing it and will continue to do it — for decades to come. C-130 HERCULES. ONE AIRCRAFT, MANY CAPABILITIES. VARIANTS There is no aircraft in aviation history — either developed or under development — that can match the flexibility, versatility and relevance of the C-130 Hercules.

  • A Comparison of In-Flight Refueling Methods for Fighter Aircraft: Boom-Receptacle Vs
    A Comparison of In-flight Refueling Methods for Fighter Aircraft: Boom-receptacle vs. Probe-and-drogue Brian J. Theiss Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ABSTRACT Aerial refueling dates back to the very beginnings of flight and has developed into two very different and incompatible methods. While the U.S. Air Force primarily uses a boom-receptacle method, the U.S. Navy uses a probe-and-drogue method. Cross-service commonality of aerial refueling methods is a concept that has the potential to save money and increase the tactical abilities of the armed services. This paper serves to examine the feasibility of using a common method of aerial refueling for fighter/attack aircraft (collectively referred to as fighter aircraft). Safety, reliability, weight and refuel rates have been examined for each method. Currently there can be no set standard for fighter aircraft. The requirements for the U.S. Navy are such that they would not be able to utilize boom-receptacle refueling adequately, and similarly the requirements for the U.S. Air Force are such that probe-and-drogue refueling would not be feasible. There are many variables to consider with each aircraft and its intended use that affect which method is best incorporated. INTRODUCTION once the adapter is attached, the tanker can only refuel probe-equipped aircraft (Byrd, 1994). Currently, there are two different and The BDA kit also has a greater tendency to snap incompatible methods for aerial refueling. The off at the probe (Gebicke, 1993a). The Navy first method is a probe-and-drogue method used requires two drogues in the air for redundancy by the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and and that translates to two KC-135s with adapter limited United States Air Force aircraft.
