Refueling aircraft in-flight is a complex procedure at any time and has its concerns that have not fully been addressed, these are compounded if we consider remote piloting. Long term the need will exist to refuel unmanned vehicles if they are to carry out extensive applications; these complexities of in-flight refueling increases due to time delays and visual challenges between the actual remote aircraft and operators. This paper addresses the reliability of a drogue used in refueling and what can be learnt for future designs and usage. In particular what we can interpret from remote pilots and in-situ pilots.
