The M970 Semi-Trailer Refueler is a 5,000-U.S.-gallon (19,000 L; 4,200 imp gal) fuel dispensing tanker designed for under/overwing refueling of aircraft. It is equipped with a filter/separator, recirculation system and two refueling systems, one for underwing and one for overwing servicing.

A KC-135 Stratotanker refuels an F-16 Fighting Falcon using a flying boom. Aerial refueling (), or aerial refuelling (), also referred to as air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), air-to-air refueling (AAR), and tanking, is the process of transferring aviation fuel from one aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) while both aircraft are in flight.
The aircraft is intended to replace older tankers that required operators to lie down at the back of the refueling tankers using a joystick to guide the boom into place.
