Aerodynamic Hardware Solutions


NEAR develops hardware solutions that take advantage of aerodynamic principles to enhance performance and functionality. One example of this is the work NEAR is conducting with the Air Force and Navy to develop advanced hose-and-drogue-style aerial refueling systems. NEAR has incorporated innovative aerodynamic features to create a simple and robust controllable drogue which can actively stabilize the hose end to facilitate the refueling of manned and unmanned aircraft in even the worst weather conditions.
