The invention provides an Air Refueling Boom System comprising a boom (21) joined to the tanker aircraft (11) by means of a mechanical articulation (23) with an inner fuel conduit and a nozzle (31) at its distal end. The tip module (41) of the boom (21) includes a breakable section (43) for separating it in a first and a second portion (45, 47) for allowing a safe separation of tanker and receiver aircraft (11, 13) in a failure event of a refueling operation and linking means (51; 61, 61') of its first and second portions (45, 47) for allowing their separation in case of overloads on the nozzle (31) when it is latched to the receptacle (19) and for allowing their separation in case of overloads on the nozzle (31) when it is latched to the receptacle (19).
