摘要

Over the last 70 years, the civil aviation industry has focussed on a growth model: upwards, bigger, farther and faster on an economic productivity basis. With awareness of environmental issues, noise, emissions and energy / fossil fuel reserves, there is an awakening for exploring ways to improve fuel efficiency. ACARE & NASA objectives call for challenging 50 to 80% improvements over next 20 years. As technology matures, the evolutionary ways are yielding improvements at a very slow rate. Operational strategies need to be exploited e.g. staging, Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAR), Close Formation Flying (CFF). This paper is concerned with AAR. It reviews the related previous work e.g. on a new set of efficiency metrics that allow a “unified” consistent efficiency theme relating Payload, Range, Fuel consumed. Smaller range aircraft need to be used for AAR and these imply 30 – 40% benefits in fuel usage. Assuming fuel at $4.70/USG, the savings estimates with AAR are remarkable: $175/pax for 6000nm and $320/pax for 9000nm. These translate to savings $25 million per aircraft per year on long-range routes. The main focus is then on the consequences of adopting AAR. Several other features and synergistic benefits arise. The benefits afforded by AAR appear an order greater than, and in addition to, those achieved by current technology evolution. Next stage is AAR demonstration in civil context!
