What is the cap on the nose of a plane called? The one they lift up to refuel?

You know what I'm talking about right? The tip of the plane that is hinged to the plane at the tip, which they lift and plug in the refueling hose?What is the cap on the nose of a plane called?

Aircraft are typically not refueled at the nose.What is the cap on the nose of a plane called? The one they lift up to refuel?I don't know of any that take gas through the nose, even refueling probes for air-to-air refueling are generally on the side for those that even have probe and drogue refueling.What is the cap on the nose of a plane called?

If you mean the entire nose piece, it's called a "RADOME".

However, it covers the radar equipment.

Most planes refuel either from the underside of the wing, or through the fuselage somewhere around the wing area, as most primary fuel tanks are

in the wings.What is the cap on the nose of a plane called? The one they lift up to refuel?None of us knows what you mean.



Fuel filler ports are not "on the nose" nor at any "tip of the plane."



You will rephrase the question.
We DON'T know what you mean, and your question is difficult to understand.



You MUST be thinking of midair refueling, rather than normal ground refueling. On the ground, airplanes are fueled through filler openings associated with the various fuel tanks in the wings and fuselage. Some large airplanes have single-point fueling systems involving a fueling inlet somewhere low on the side of the fuselage.



My Aeronca Chief has a fuel filler in front of the windshield, behind the engine. It's just called a fuel filler.



In midair refueling, the receiving airplane uses a fuel inlet called a slipway, but it is usually not in the nose. At a casual glance, you may have gotten the impression the refueling boom was sticking in the airplane's nose, but if you will look more closely at pictures, you will see that the slipway is usually on top of the fuselage behind the crew compartment.What is the cap on the nose of a plane called?

I think someone watched Airplane! before asking this question. :)



What you're referring to is the radome, but has nothing to do with fueling. Fueling is done at or around the wings, which is where fuel is stored.
I think you are talking about mid air refueling. If so, I believe you are describing a "drogue" type system. This system is normally used by the Navy or Marines. The tanker acft reels out a fuel hose with a drouge chute attached to the end that stabilizes the hose. The pilot receiving the fuel flies the acft up to the drouge and aligns the fuel probe with it. Some acft have a retractable probe while some are fixed. Example: F-18 is retractable, A-6 is fixed. The U.S. Air Force uses a boom and door system. But that is another story. Short answer? It's a "fuel probe".What is the cap on the nose of a plane called? The one they lift up to refuel?
I think that is called a 'boom'.
