Aerial refuelling, which was introduced operationally as a temporary means of extending the range of the U.S.A.F.'s long-range bomber force is now an accepted and important part of military operations. Most combat aircraft are now required to incorporate provisions for aerial refuelling, and it is expected that it will continue to play an important role in Air Force operations until such time as other means are found to extend the range of military aircraft. In addition to the range extension possibilities of aerial refuelling other uses are for increasing payload and decreasing take-off distance by take-off with partial fuel load and completion of the fuelling operation in the air. The use of aerial refuelling for these latter purposes is expected to become more important in the future.
