Summary[edit]
DescriptionKB29 refueling F86.jpg |
English: In order to extend the range of the new generation of jet aircraft, a B-29 was fitted with a flying boom for experiments in air-to-air refueling. Here, a KB-29 delivers fuel to an F-86A Sabre over Rogers Dry Lake. Note that the fighter is flying nose-high in order to match its speed to the slower tanker; even so, it had to lower its landing gear for additional drag.
Deutsch: Um die Reichweite der neuen Generation von Düsenflugzeugen zu erweitern, wurde eine B-29 mit einem Flugausleger für Experimente zur Luft-Luft-Betankung ausgestattet. Hier liefert eine KB-29 Kraftstoff an eine F-86A Sabre über Rogers Dry Lake. Beachtenswert ist, dass das Jagdflugzeug mit hochgezogener Nase fliegt, um seine Geschwindigkeit an den langsameren Tanker anzupassen. Zusätzlicht musste es sein Fahrwerk absenken, um weiteren Luftwiderstand zu erzielen. |
