Air refueling offers both the opportunity to extend aircraft range and the potential to save fuel by enabling a transport aircraft to depart with less fuel in exchange for additional cargo. We evaluate the practicality of air refueling in terms of fuel savings versus distance and cargo quantity, by introducing two non-linear optimization models that examine the tradeoff between departure fuel weight and loaded cargo for given origin, destination, and tanker base positions and freight quantities to be moved. We use two numerical example scenarios to show that substantial fuel savings from air refueling are possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Murat Toydas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1288399022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781288399024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioscholar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.18d","brand":"Murat Toydas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611348189439,"sku":"9781288399024","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_838aa8bc-14e5-4797-951e-883463a80c17.jpg?v=1764513310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fuel-savings-opportunities-from-air-murat-toydas-9781288399024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
