| Once when they tried to frighten it off, it seized the drogue rope and gave the dinghy a spin. |
|
| Until 4 July, few people checked the line between the drogue and the main parachute. |
|
| Then he loses the drogue and deploys a parafoil-type chute under which he glides the capsule all the way to the ground. |
|
| Drifting free like this is ok in a gentle breeze but if the wind is a little stronger, a drogue may be needed. |
|
| For landing, a drogue parachute, installed in the tail of the fuselage, is connected to the spring loaded tail cone ejection plate. |
|
| The drogue parachute deploys first and then the main parachute is released. |
|
| The range and endurance time are also extended by in-flight refuelling, using a probe and drogue inflight refuelling system. |
|
| The air refueling system consists of a probe and drogue airborne refueling system. |
|
| The 767 aircraft can be modified to accommodate refuelling wingpods and a centreline hose for probe and drogue refuelling. |
|
| The aircraft can be equipped with an optional probe for probe and drogue refuelling, so the range can be extended by in-flight refuelling. |
|
| These are capable of refuelling Navy and NATO aircraft, which use a probe and drogue system instead of a boom and receptacle. |
|
| An unusual role was as a target tug trailing a sleeve drogue for air-to-air firing practice. |
|
| They would fly a few feet over the drop zone and then deploy the cargo using a small drogue parachute. |
|
| When it's stable, I will fire a drogue parachute, which will also come out of the nose cone, to make the craft stable. |
|
| The winch would have to have some kind of rewind capability and a small drogue to ensure it couldn't recoil into the tug's propeller. |
|
| The Viking crew verified the trailing-wire antenna was in and the drogue seated. |
|
| This led us to believe lighting had hit the HF-trailing-wire antenna and the drogue that drags the wire behind the aircraft was lost. |
|
| A shuttlecock drogue can be trailed behind the boom and used to refuel aircraft equipped with refuelling probes. |
|
| We disengaged the drogue and moved to the right side of our lead's aircraft. |
|
| The drogue itself is fitted with small lights around the perimeter to help night operations. |
|
|
|
| In the drill the second aircraft plugs its fuel connection pipe into the fuel drogue trailed by the lead aircraft. |
|
| With today's gliders you might need a drogue chute to land there. |
|
| Mr. Baumgartner hopes to remain stable and conscious throughout his longer fall without relying on a drogue parachute. |
|
| Most of our aerial gunnery exercises consisted of firing at a drogue or target which was towed about a hundred yards behind the single engined, high winged Lysander plane. |
|
| His perfection of jet engine use in racing also led him to adopt the now widely used drogue parachutes that safely stop drag racing machines. |
|
| Inside the refuelling pods, a collapsible funnel-shaped drogue is attached to a hose, which is reeled out to trail behind the wing of the aircraft. |
|
| The centerline drogue and wing aerial refueling pods are used to refuel aircraft fitted with probes. |
|
| By 3pm the wind was approaching gale force, and they did what Frank always did: take down the sails and mast and put out a drogue or sea anchor – a canvas bucket on a long line attached to the bow. |
|
| The crew would deploy a small drogue parachute in the tail, point the glider's nose down so it could fall quickly into thicker air, and then jettison the chute. |
|
| He was supposed to be stabilized during his fall by a small drogue parachute, but on one training jump in 1959 it did not open because the cord got tangled around his neck. |
|
| As the men started to bail they knew they needed a new drogue, fast. |
|
| We were at 20,000 feet, trailing a lot of wire with a 50-pound drogue at the end of it, and we had no way to get rid of it. |
|
| The probe-and-drogue method requires the refueling aircraft to insert a fixed probe into a drogue, or basket, attached to a tanker's fuel hose. |
|
| During the probe and drogue AAR demonstration, the X-47B performed a close formation flight rendezvous with an Omega K-707 tanker. |
