Air-Refueling Airplane

Air-Refueling Airplanes are a type of aircraft that are specifically designed and equipped for in-flight refueling of other aircraft. They are part of the supply class "Aircraft, Fixed Wing" in the supply group "Aerospace Craft And Structural Components."

These airplanes are equipped with specialized systems and equipment, such as refueling pods or booms, that allow them to transfer fuel to other aircraft while in flight. This capability is crucial for extending the range and endurance of military aircraft, as well as enabling long-range missions and operations.

Air-Refueling Airplanes are typically larger and have a higher fuel capacity compared to other aircraft. They are designed to carry a significant amount of fuel to support multiple refueling operations during a single mission. These aircraft are often operated by specialized air forces or units that provide aerial refueling services to other military aircraft.

In addition to their primary role of air-to-air refueling, Air-Refueling Airplanes can also be used for other purposes, such as cargo transport or personnel transport. They are versatile aircraft that play a critical role in military operations, enabling extended flight durations and increasing the operational capabilities of other aircraft.
