Sharing many of the same benefits as wing pods, Cobham's latest generation FRU's have the additional benefits of a faster fuel offload rate and greater clearance for larger aircraft and rotorcraft. Tankers equipped with multi-point hose and drogue systems which include a FRU provide much greater flexibility and allow two aircraft to refuel simultaneously, considerably reducing time spent on station.

Complete system solutions inclusive of the aircraft structures and internal hose drum electrical, hydraulic, and fuel subsystems can be integrated to provide highly reliable and easily maintained hose and drogue refuelling systems.
