Technical Details and Refueling Capacities
The couplings, as the connection points for refueling equipment to the aircraft, play a key role in fuel transfer. The fuel transfer capacity through the lower coupling of this unit reaches 2,400 liters per minute, while refueling through its upper platform can achieve up to 3,000 liters per minute. The design and construction of this unit, utilizing domestic engineering capabilities and resources, represents a significant step towards the development of the aviation refueling fleet.
This project, regarded as a national achievement in the country's aviation industry, demonstrates domestic capabilities and efforts towards self-sufficiency in refueling equipment. With the entry of this refueling truck into the aviation fleet, it is expected to improve performance and increase efficiency in aircraft refueling operations.
