EWFM’s G180 refuelling nozzle has replaced the G457-240 nozzle which has been used by the ministry of defence in the UK for many years. It’s design functionality is based on the original G457 design but now it has many new features and benefits. The new design is lightweight, comfortable to operate and rugged. The speed spout system is designed to give the operator the choice of which spout suits their aircraft. As a result, this allows for the spout to be changed within seconds.
This nozzle now has a soft close feature which allows the operator to control the flow of fuel and bumpers have been added to ensure that if contact is made with the wing of the aircraft no damage will occur. Safety of the operator was a key aspect of the new design as heavy duty gloves can be worn when using the nozzle and the light weight construction ensures that it isn’t too heavy for the operator to carry and hold.
