A 100 yrs since development of the biggest force multiplier in tactical aviation -A2A refuelling! 1923, the U.S. Army undertook tests at Rockwell Field, San Diego, California, to test a more practical way to lower a hose from one airplane to refuel another in flight. In its tests, a DH-4B biplane outfitted as a tanker and equipped with a 50-foot (15-meter) length of hose and a quick-acting shutoff valve would fly above the receiver and lower the hose. The person in the rear seat of the receiver aircraft would grab the hose and connect it to the aircraft. If the hose became detached, the valve would immediately cut off the flow, preventing it from spraying fuel over the receiving aircraft and its pilot. https://www.centennialofflight.net/essay/Evolution_of_Technology/refueling/Tech22.htm Johnny Brit further refined the system. this method, the receiving aircraft trailed a long horizontal line with a grapnel at the end. The tanker trailed a weighted line and approached the receiver from behind and to one side. It then crossed to the other side, causing the two lines to cross and touch. The receiver aircraft then hauled in the lines and the hose from the tanker. The thirsty jets of the US Strategic Air Command demanded faster A2A procedures and dedicated refuelling a/c. Boeing Company began testing the "Boeing boom" system, consisting of a large-diameter pipe connected to the rear of a B-29 and fitted with small wings at the end. The boom was lowered and "flown" to a connector on the receiver aircraft. This allowed fuel transfers to take place at higher speeds and, more importantly, allowed more than six times as much fuel to flow per minute. NOTHING has changed since then- the equipment and the process has been standardised globally. Refuelling UAVs a century frok now if hydrocarbon engines are still in use will likely use the same hoses and drogues as were developed decades ago. 4 Likes

Omofaye99: When you dont know something listen and read and then try to make findings. You can apply for a position with them, doctor your cv to tailor it to suite the post and then go for interview try to have contact with staffs and make further inquiry infact alot happen there. And mind you they dont permit phones, pictures etc inside their factory so when smuggling it be careful. These are things I made findings about before you come here and start saying "Evidence to this Jargons" |

They usually and normally go home without a dime after hard work for the year couple with salaries unpaid. Just recently Two of their key Expatriates left in Anger. 1 Like |

aduragbemi00024: You made findings with no evidence to present except this long epistle So this staffs have been working without pay for months and still continue to work for the sake of what Who works for a company without been paid for almost a year without speaking out? I know some won't but still you have no evidence to backup your claim. aduragbemi00024: Yet they kept working abeg this story no clear. aduragbemi00024: Why? If this expatriates left because of salary issue I bet it would have made news headline, Proforce is not a chichi company man. |

Omofaye99: Oyinbo that doesnt go out? only to shop and go back home right will have time to make such in news headline See ehnn a very good way same as I did apply for a position there infact doctor your cv towards a factory staff position welder etc and then go for interview and make your due diligence findings from staffs and get the experience or evidences you want. Alot of crazy things happen there to staffs welfare. |

Odunayaw: The rate of employment over and over for same position in the company is high that should give you a hint already why would you employ a position now and in same year you are hiring same position over and over again for how long? Why are the ones you employed recently leaving Simple answer Staff Welfare. Make your own investigation its easy to do tailor your cv to a post they always advertise often then make sure you do it to be called for interview with that you have entered already now make your investigations around and hear things no one will tell you to run for your life |
