    Airplanes can be refueled in the air, so why should the engine be turned off when the car is refueled? Does the author want to ask this? At that time, airplanes generally carried multiple fuel tanks, as you can tell from the picture upstairs.

    It is impossible for a fighter to wait until the auxiliary fuel tank and the main fuel tank are all used up before calling a tanker. Usually, when performing remote missions, if there is not enough fuel on the ground after calculation, the auxiliary fuel tank will be filled at some appropriate time in the middle of the trip. Unless the plane has been in combat condition before, the fuel tanks will still be under the cover or wings.

    If the aircraft needs to be refueled at this time, it is still refueled in the auxiliary fuel tank. In the absence of auxiliary fuel tanks, the aircraft will take some special actions when refueling in the air, such as controlling the throttle and taking intermittent refueling!

    The tanker carries a lot of fuel and refuels the fighter in two ways, one with a hard pipe and the other with a hose. Hard-tube refueling fighters generally have a refueling port on the back, and the hard-tube refueling rod is deep and the refueling speed is fast. Hose refueling is the refueling machine sticks out of the hose, the tail of the refueling pipe has a refueling port, the refueling machine is equipped with a refueling rod, and the refueling rod needs to be extended into the refueling port of the hose by the refueling machine fighter.

    Close-up of the refueling pipe of the hardpipe refueling machine, which is a metal refueling pipe. Hard pipe refueling, the fuel refueling rod of the fuel dispenser extends into the oil filler port of the oil receiving machine, and the hard pipe is generally a fuel refueling rod, because his fuel delivery speed is fast. Hose refueling, refueling pipe is an erratic pipe The fighter sticks out of the refueling pipe and into the hole in the refueling pipe network of the refueling machine.

    If you can refuel on land, you can refuel in the air, and the principle of air refueling is actually very simple, that is, an extended fuel receiving pipe of the aircraft, and a fuel outlet pipe of the tanker can be connected to each other, and Israel is still researching air loading ammunition.

    The principle is very simple, two planes maintain a constant speed, that is, relatively stationary, an extended fuel receiving pipe for an airplane, and a fuel outlet pipe for a refueling machine can be connected to each other. Satisfied o( o

    Summary. Hello dear, Chailing. <>

    The air tanker is an aircraft that refuels the aircraft in flight and the aircraft, so that the tanker can increase the range, extend the endurance, increase the effective load, and improve the long-range combat capability. Most of them are modified from large Suisongqi transport planes or strategic bombers, and most of the refueling equipment is installed in the tail of the fuselage or in the gondola under the wings, which are controlled by pilots or refuelers. The technology of air refueling appeared in 1923.

    Causes:1 Since the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is much greater than the maximum landing weight, if the aircraft requires a landing immediately after take-off due to a malfunction, then the landing weight at this time will exceed the maximum landing weight of the aircraft. In the event of a forced landing, there is a danger that the landing gear will break.

    Also, will the oil release cause environmental pollution? You don't have to worry about this. Aircraft refueling is generally at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.

    The aviation kerosene, which is released at this height, has been atomized before landing.

    1.During landing, many planes are constantly draining fuel. The main reason is that the take-off weight of the aircraft is much greater than the landing weight.

    The purpose of defueling is to reduce the weight of the aircraft. If the aircraft is forced to descend, the aircraft landing gear may break without draining the oil, causing an accident.

    2.Usually during a forced landing, the aircraft will rub against the air. If there is still a large amount of fuel on the aircraft, high temperatures may occur during the friction collision, causing disasters and even causing aircraft. Therefore, the aircraft needs to be defueled during landing to allow it to descend safely.

    3.Because the airport is far from the city, and under the friction of the air, there is no need to worry about the oil discharged by the plane will be scattered over the city and the forest. Generally, oil is discharged into oceans, mountains, and wastelands. At atmospheric pressure, the oil may be atomized before landing.

    I don't know if you have found such a phenomenon, sometimes when the plane is about to arrive at the destination, you will see a long string of white smoke behind it, this is the phenomenon that the plane is refueling, why should it be refueled.

First of all, it is stated that the plane flies in the atmosphere and definitely generates heat. There is no supersonic speed in active civil aircraft, so the heat is very low, and even when flying at high altitudes, there will be ice on the wings. The heat generated by a supersonic fighter is not negligible, especially when the speed is higher than 300 degrees Celsius, but it does not burn out. >>>More

Purely in terms of size, the largest aircraft in the world is the Russian An-225 transport aircraft, its length and width (wingspan) are, while the Airbus A380 is per meter) and the maximum take-off weight, the An-225 is 600 tons, and some data say that the A380 is 590 tons, which is not much the same. You must know that the An-225 is the carrier aircraft of the Russian "Buran" space shuttle.
