DEVICE AND METHODS FOR REFUELING OF AIRCRAFTS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64F1/28 B67D7/42 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for refueling of aircrafts, as well as to methods for refueling of aircrafts, using such a device. The device for refueling of an aircraft contains a pipeline for fuel supply, at a far end of which a wing connector is installed for connection of the pipeline to an inlet of a fuel tank of the aircraft, containing a case and a front valve installed with the possibility of movement relatively to the case. In this case, the wing connector contains at least one detecting element for determination of a position of the front valve, and an electric or electronic transmission system for transmission to an information processing unit of a signal characterizing the position of the front valve, determined by the detecting element. At the same time, the refueling device contains a unit for calculation of a number of operations with the wing connector and/or actual duration of use of the wing connector by the signal characterizing the detected position of the front valve, transmitted by the electric or electronic system, or a storage device for storage of a number of operations of turning on the front valve, determined by the detecting element, and the electric or electronic transmission system contains a portable terminal for extraction of the specified value of the number of operations of turning on the front valve, stored in the storage device, wherein the specified portable terminal is made with the possibility of connection to a computer, which is the information processing unit. The group of inventions also relates to methods for refueling of aircrafts, using such a device.

EFFECT: creation of a new device for refueling of aircrafts, maintenance of which can be planned in an optimal way.
