Abstract: Controllable refueling drogues and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment includes a fuel delivery device having a deployable portion configured to be deployed overboard an aircraft during aerial refueling. The deployable portion can include at least a portion of a flexible fuel line, a drogue coupled to the flexible fuel line, and an actuatable device operatively coupled to at least one of the drogue and the fuel line. The deployable portion can further include a guidance system that is operatively coupled to the actuatable device and that includes instructions to direct the operation of the actuatable device and move the drogue during flight.

Abstract: An in-flight refueling system, damping device and method are provided for enhancing the stability of an elongate hose extending from a tanker aircraft during an in-flight refueling operation. The various embodiments of the system, device, and method provide a passive, integrated damping device that may generate electrical energy from changes in disposition of the elongate hose and then using the electrical energy generated to impart mechanical damping forces to a portion of the elongate hose. Thus, the embodiments may minimize the occurrence of oscillations in the elongate hose as it extends from the tanker aircraft during an in-flight refueling operation.

Abstract: A bearing installer/remover, for installing and removing a bearing from a panel having a bearing seating passage through it, has a bridge with integral legs engaging a panel surface and straddling the bearing. The bridge has a threaded hole in it. The bearing is positioned between the bridging piece and the head of a bolt which has a threaded shaft threaded through the bridge hole. A cylindrical collar is mounted on the bolt shaft between the bolt head and the bearing, and a cylindrical bushing, preferably integral with the collar, fits closely but slidably around the bolt shaft between the collar and the bearing, and extends through the bore of the bearing, whereby the bearing is restrained against cocking.

Abstract: In combination, a floating structure supporting a person in a prone or sitting position, a propelling unit includes a casing with a handle mounted on it, the propelling unit being manipuable by one hand of the person on the floating structure, and a lanyard connected to the propelling unit and floating structure in such a way as to permit the propelling unit as a whole to be manipulated angularly and translationally by the hand of the person supported by the floating structure.
