126 FLIGHT 2 SEPTEMBER I960 converts MUEVOLEHT FUND «i KMTUHD rua umooH, wj. fighter to tanker in 60 minutes THE Mk 20 refuelling pack Tuck a Mk 20 Refuelling Pack under the wing of a single-seat fighter and it becomes a high-ceiling, high-speed aerial tanker. With the refuelling pack, Probe and Drogue in-flight refuelling is possible 40,000 ft. (12,200 metres) up, at 300 knots (566 k.p.h.) indicated, and at the rate of 150 gallons per minute (680 litres per minute). In just 60 minutes this compact self-powered ram-air turbine driven unit weighing only 800 lb dry weight (363 kgs) can be fitted to standard underwing pylons of fighter and strike aircraft. Removal of the store is even quicker. The refuelling pack's own capacity is 150 gallons (680 litres) but it can transfer as much fuel as the aircraft can carry. It speaks for the simplicity of the controls that the unit can be operated safely from a single-seat aircraft. The refuelling pack is built by Flight Refuelling Limited, the pioneers of the Probe and Drogue in-flight refuelling system.
