Certification testing of an automatic air-to-air refuelling boom technology for the A330 multi-role tanker transport MRTT is on track to commence next year, following a recent campaign conducted by Airbus Defence Space.The European company built on earlier fight tests with the so-called A3R system by conducting sorties involving its A310 tanker testbed and a Portuguese air force Lockheed Martin F-16.Source: Airbus Defence SpaceCampaign invol

stanley cup t hours, the tests involved 120 dry contacts between the aircraft. These were made across the whole aerial refuelling envelope , Airbus says.Previous activities had involved the A310 automatically transferring fuel to an A330 MRTT last year, following initial proximity trials also involving F-16s.Use of the A3R system enables the tankers monitoring air refuelling operator ARO to activate autonomous connection between the telescopic boom tip and receiver aircraft. The system will then maintain alignment with an accuracy of a couple of centimetres during fuel transfer.The advance should reduce ARO workload, improve safety and optimise the rate of [fuel] transfer in operational conditions , the company says. The goal for the A3R system i

Leo Burt was placed on the FBI most wanted list immediately after the 1970 bombing of Sterling Hall and remains the last fugitive sought by the FBI in connection with radical anti-Vietnam War activities.The bombers parked a stolen van packed with fertilizer and fuel outside the universitys Army Math Research Center in Sterling Hall and lit the fuse in the early morning hours of Aug. 24, 1970. The bomb attack, which was the nations most powerful until the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, killed 33-year-old graduate student Robert Fassnacht, who was doing research in the middle of the night. It also injured other people and caused millions of dollars in damage. The bombers fled to Canada.Three of the four wanted men were captured in the 1970s after trying to live underground. They were convicted, served short prison terms and resumed their lives.Burt, who grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, came to Wisconsin on an ROTC scholarship and joined the rowing team, vanished. One former prosecutor called him Wisconsins state ghost. The FBI received tips and alleged sightings from all over the world for decades, often spiking around anniversaries of the bombing. Some theorize that Burt i
