Keywords: aerial refueling, real time simulation models

This paper describes an Air-To-Air refueling simulation model developed at Saab Aerosystems. The impact from flow features, behind the tanker aircraft and from the refueling aircraft, acting on the drogue and the hose has been considered in the models. A sub model describing the docking mechanism is also included.
