will the cameras be good enough for visual inspection of the planes?

Yes, it's hard to think of a better backup system then a slab of transparent silica for either a LCD screen or VR based refueling control system. There is a reason why the astronauts on the ISS pretty much exclusively use the cupola windowed observatory to dock or assist in the docking of spacecraft. Sure they are…
Since the fuel probe can only operate in a small volume, there isn't a need for the operator to look at much besides that area.
That makes a bit more sense and reminds me of an old military branch joke.
Hold it together there Beeblebrox.
I reloaded the page and saw the new refueling control station photo. So they will not be using a VR headset, but multiple screens with a main and large(ish) polarized 3D display with the operator wearing polarized 3D glasses. This setup will increase the cognitive load on the operator vs the more intuitive "just look…
three-point hose and drogue refueling system
Renting the tankers? What was Boeing thinking with that? I would like to have seen Boeing attempt to repossess the tankers during a wartime operation.
Amazingly not that hard to do, Car & Driver built a last gen Mazdaspeed 5.
I with Mazda used this upgradeable model, I would love a Mazda Protege5 with a 1.6 or 1.8 SkyActiv drivetrain.
Interesting to see the folded wing bend slightly at the hinges during the roll at 02:22.
Is there any difference between the two different types of refueling system? There is the flying boom and the probe-and-drogue systems I know that, but I am wondering why some aircraft of the same general size use the flying boom while others use the probe-and-drogue system.
Well after the Don't Jerk & Drive campaign, what else are they supposed to be doing while driving in South Dakota?
I mean why not make the entire front of the car a big chevy bowtie?
Nope, sorry. The closest I could get with my admittedly botched job at matching the angles and perspective is one propeller blade hidden behind the guy. Unless they lost two props in flight the other two should be poking out from behind his back or head, they probably looked odd so in post to they were removed in PS.
I bet its the same alternate reality where Pontiac is still around and all of their cars are built on variations of the RWD Kappa and Zeta platforms.
