Navy E-6 Mercury aircraft, a new build airframe based on the Boeing 707-320B. 【参考译文】该机型的侦察和指挥所变种,包括RC-135 Rivet Joint和EC-135 Looking Glass飞机,从1963年至1992年由战略空军司令部(SAC)操作,之后被重新分配给空战司令部(ACC)。美国空军的EC-135 Looking Glass随后在其角色中被...
A total of 732 KC-135s were built in a long and efficient production run. The first 582 aircraft were built with a short tailfin, but from then on a taller fin was introduced to make the aircraft more stable during takeoff. This feature was eventually retrofitted to all aircraft in the ...
The KC-46A delivers more fuel at all ranges and from shorter runways than the KC-135 aircraft it’s replacing — while utilizing less ramp space than competing tankers — ensuring mission reach from forward and austere airfields. Currently, KC-46A air refueling receiver certifications include: ...
The C/KC- 135 aircraft has formed the heart of the USAF strategic tanker fleet for over 40 years. Modifications to airframe and engines have enhanced the life of the basic platform for another 40 years of service. The Flight2 avionics architecture employed for GATM on the CIKC-1 35 is ...

A tanker version (KC-97) was introduced in 1950 using the “flying boom” refueling system, and all subsequent USAF contracts for C-97s were for tankers. In all, 890 aircraft were ordered, 74 C-97s and 816 KC-97s. After 1956, USAF KC-97s were gradually replaced by KC-135 jet tankers...

aircraft gross weight is a cost issue, because excess weight incurs a 'carriage cost'. The 'carriage cost' for weight on the KC-135 is 4.97% of the weight in pounds of fuel burned per hour. This thesis focuses on the cost recoupment horizon for reballasting the KC-135 fleet and ...
KC-135 annual maintenance cost is expected to triple as KC-X replacement plan remains uncertain. Assuming $6 billion in annual maintenance cost for the KC-... GA Agricola 被引量: 0发表: 1989年 Volatile Particle Matter and Primary Organic Aerosol Emissions from Civilian and Military Aircraft Fin...
