Eaton Fuselage refueling units
EatonÕs fuselage refueling units, also called hose drum units, provide center line refueling for probe equipped receiver aircraft. The latest generation fuselage refueling units share many of the same benefits as wing pods plus the additional benefits of a faster fuel offload rate and greater clearance for larger aircraft and rotorcraft. Tankers equipped with multi-point hose and drogue systems which include a fuselage refueling unit provide greater flexibility and allow two aircraft to refuel simultaneously, reducing time spent on station. The internal hose drum electrical, hydraulic and fuel subsystems can be integrated to provide highly reliable and easily maintained hose and drogue refueling systems.
