A fluid nozzle includes an inlet housing configured for connection with a tanker aircraft boom, an outlet housing connected with the inlet and configured for connection with a receiving aircraft receptacle, and/or a sensor configured for determining at least one of a ready status, a contact status, and an articulation angle. The sensor may include a ready sensor, a contact sensor, and/or an articulation angle sensor. A method of connecting a fluid nozzle with a receptacle may include providing a fluid nozzle, providing a receptacle, moving the fluid nozzle toward the receptacle, sensing contact between the fluid nozzle and the receptacle via a contact sensor, and/or sensing, via a ready sensor, that the receptacle is latched with the fluid nozzle.
