Results for tag: "Air To Air Refueling"

Air to Air Refueling (AAR) is a process in which one aircraft transfers fuel to another aircraft while in flight. This process is used to extend the range and endurance of aircraft, allowing them to stay in the air for longer periods of time. AAR is also used to transfer fuel to aircraft that are unable to land at an airport due to weather or other conditions. The process is typically conducted by specially-trained pilots and requires precise coordination between the two aircraft. AAR is an important part of the aircraft industry, as it allows aircraft to remain in the air for longer periods of time and to reach destinations that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is also used in military operations, allowing aircraft to remain in the air for extended periods of time without having to land for refueling. Companies in the AAR market include Cobham, Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. Show Less Read more
