ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system for the flight refueling of at least one first aircraft provided with an intermediate fuel intake means connected to at least one fuel tank, by a second aircraft equipped with an intermediate fuel supply means connected to at least one fuel supply tank and which can be connected to the intermediate fuel intake means so as to permit, with the aid of at least one fuel pump, the transfer of fuel contained in the tank(s) of the second aircraft to the tank(s) of the first aircraft. This system includes at least one camera positioned below the aircraft, at least one multimode display to display at least one image from a camera and symbology information such as fuel data information used during the refueling operation. The system further includes multifunction equipment incorporating a screen for monitoring the refueling operation and a control keyboard to control several operations, in a single work station within the second aircraft for checking the flight refueling of the first aircraft.
