Fuel transfer system permits rapid coupling
Abstract
Docking and fuel transfer system provides an efficient method for transferring fuel from a tanker to another vehicle. With this system, no triggering operation is required prior to docking, the support system can be rigidized by simply locking the rams of shock absorbers, and no separate fuel line coupling action is required.
