Design Build Aviation Fueling
The
U.S. Navy recently began production of a prototype vessel called the
X-Craft. This high-speed aluminum catamaran will reach speeds of 50
knots and will have a deck with two helicopter landing spots capable
of handling a variety of aircraft. Core Engineered Solutions was
selected to provide a design-build aviation refueling solution for
the X-Craft.
Core
provided a customized solution that included a pump and filtration
system feeding a remote dispensing module located on the deck of the
vessel. The pump and filtration module (PFT) is capable of
offloading, dispensing and filtration. For the X-Craft the module
was fitted with dual filtration units each capable of recirculating
product at 200 USGPM. The remote dispensing module (RDS) was
designed to pump JP5 at up to 50 USGPM.
Core’s Aviation Fueling Systems (AFS) are designed to meet over 90% of all FBO refueling requirements. Core can also provide custom aviation skids.
