"Ian" wrote in message ... Maybe a bit simplistic but couldn't they equal the transfer rates by just increasing the bore of the drogue feed pipe? It all ends up in the same fuel system (on the refuelling aircraft) so it can't be a pressure constraint? That means increasing the bore of a longer length of pipe than on a flying boom. I suspect there are weight restraints at work here.
