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 with reference to the examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0023] see attached figure 1 , the water plane refueling method of the present invention mainly comprises the following process:

[0024] Delineate 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. The refueling floating platform is composed of the rigid frame of the platform in the water part and the buoy assembly in the water part. 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 platform rigid frame, which are used to complete the fixed connection between the seaplane and the refueling floating platform.

[0025] Refueling equipment (such as oil tanker) is placed on the refueli...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for refueling a seaplane, which comprises the steps of building a refueling floating platform, building a refueling system, operating the seaplane to approach the refueling floating platform, fixing the seaplane, performing the refueling operation of the seaplane and evacuating the seaplane. The seaplane refueling method of the present invention enables the seaplane to complete the refueling task on the water, and the water refueling equipment can be arranged anywhere according to the needs of the aircraft voyage, which reduces the refueling cost of the seaplane and greatly shortens the refueling time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of water plane refueling, in particular to a water plane 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 the traditional ground refueling method. For amphibious aircraft, when the aircraft needs to refuel, it will land at the ground airport to achieve ground refueling. If refueling is required during the flight, it is necessary to plan and select the nearest land. Refueling is implemented at the airport. If there is no nearby airport with refueling conditions, refueling cannot be implemented. The characteristics of ground refueling determine that the aircraft cannot be far from the shore and must have sufficient fuel for return. At present, relatively mature or systematic water refueling equipment has not yet been developed in China. In case of...
