Problems solved by technology

However, for amphibious aircraft, especially seaplanes, on the one hand to achieve land refueling at a fixed airport, it is necessary to drag the seaplane onto the land and tow it to a safe and reliable location to perform ground refueling procedures, which is laborious and risky Larger; the current refueling method for seaplanes in the industry is to refuel on land or at the shore, which greatly limits the operation and endurance of the aircraft

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0023] See attached figure 1 , The seaplane refueling method of the present invention mainly includes the following processes:

[0024] Delimit the water refueling operation area and control the personnel and ships entering the water refueling operation area. Build a refueling floating platform with a concave base surface. The refueling floating platform is composed of the rigid frame of the platform on the water part and the buoy assembly of the water part fixedly connected. The middle part is formed to accommodate the front nose and fuselage of the seaplane wing. Concave base surface. There are multiple mooring posts on the rigid frame of the platform to complete the fixed connection between the seaplane and the refueling floating platform.

[0025] Refueling equipment (such as oil tanker) is hoisted on the re...

Abstract

The invention relates to a seaplane refueling method. The seaplane refueling method comprises the following steps: setting up a refueling floating platform; setting up a refueling system; operating aseaplane to get close to the fueling floating platform; fixing the seaplane; carrying out refueling operation and evacuation of the seaplane. By adopting the seaplane refueling method disclosed by theinvention, the seaplane is enabled to complete the refueling task on the sea; in addition, water refueling equipment can be arranged everywhere according to the needs of the aircraft range, so that the refueling cost of the seaplane is reduced and the refueling time is greatly shortened.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of seaplane refueling on the water, and specifically relates to a seaplane refueling method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the vigorous development of general aviation and tourism, seaplanes have ushered in rapid development. At present, most aircraft operating companies use traditional ground refueling methods. For amphibious aircraft, when the aircraft needs to be refueled, land at a ground airport to refuel on the ground. If refueling is required during the flight, plan and choose the nearest land Refueling is implemented at the airport. If there is no nearby airport with the refueling conditions, it cannot be refueled. The characteristics of ground refueling determine that the aircraft cannot be far away from shore and land, and sufficient return fuel must be reserved. At present, there is no more mature or systematic water refueling equipment developed in China. In emergency situations, it is n...
