The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of refueling V/STOL aircraft, including helicopters, by means of a ship-based refueling device which would circumvent the need for landing. Twp alternative high fuel flow rate systems are projected through exploratory designs. Feasibility is indicated through analyses of solutions required to support and stabilize the refueling device for engagement by V/STOL aircraft within the limits of available aircraft control power in a sea state 5 environment.
