System design and optimization of an aerial refueling system for transcontinental flights
… intercontinental flights are long-haul flights, and commercial aircraft are not refueled during the flight. As a result, the fuel consumption of intercontinental flights increases exponentially with the distance travelled, because these long-haul flights consume extra fuel due to their weight …
