Abstract

577,934. Refuelling aircraft. SHACKLETON, W. S. July 29, 1940, No. 12306. Drawings to Specification. [Class 4] To facilitate the take-off of long-distance aeroplanes, only a limited quantity of fuel is carried while on the ground, the rest of the fuel required being carried in one or more gliders, towed behind the aeroplane and transferred thereto during flight. When the transfer has been effected, the gliders may be cast off and are piloted back to their base.
