ABSTRACT:
An in-flight refueling system for an unmanned aircraft is responsive to sensed forces acting on a refueling receptacle of the aircraft by a separate refueling probe, to control movements of the aircraft as it is being refueled to reduce the magnitude of the sensed forces and thereby maintain the coupling of the aircraft with the refueling probe.
