A fuel line coupling component (e.g., for aircraft fuel lines) allow for axial, rotational and radial displacements. The fuel line coupling component includes outer and inner tubular members with each having coaxially aligned pairs of coaxially sleeved tubular sections that are coaxially displaceable relative to one another. A pair of terminal end connectors includes a journalled connection assembly with the respective opposed distal ends of the outer and inner tubular members to thereby allow simultaneous rotational movements of the outer and inner tubular members about a longitudinal axis thereof and simultaneous radial displacements of outer an inner tubular members relative to a reference plane. C-clamps associated with fuel tank fittings and band clamps allow coupling of the fuel line coupling component to the fuel tank fittings and thereby fluid-connect aircraft fuel tanks (e.g., the aircraft main and auxiliary fuel tanks).

Cargo aircraft having a cargo ramp and cargo door oppositely hinged relative to one another to allow access to the aircraft's cargo space may be provided with a flying boom mast that is physically mounted at the aft portion of the fuselage so as to configure such cargo aircraft for aerial refueling operations. The flying boom mast may therefore be operably associated with the aft portion of the fuselage and moveable between a stowed and deployed conditions relative to the aft portion of the fuselage, while a fuel supply line fluid-interconnects the flying boom mast with an on-board fuel supply of the aircraft so as to allow aerial refueling of a receiver aircraft when the flying boom mast is in the deployed condition thereof.
