    The aircraft was accepted into service in 1983. Su-24M has a 0.76 m (30 in) longer fuselage section forward of the cockpit, adding a retractable refueling probe, and a reshaped, shorter radome for the attack radar. It can be identified by the single nose probe in place of the three-part probe of earlier aircraft.

    In the 2021 production model, the emitter is re-engineered to be retractable. [133] In May 2018, Indian Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa claimed at a press conference that the radars on India's Su-30MKI fighters were "good enough" and could detect a J-20 from "several kilometers away" while answering a question on whether the J-20 posed a threat ...

    The F-106 had an early IRST mounting replaced in 1963 with a production retractable mount. [2] The IRST was also incorporated into the F-8 Crusader (F-8E variant) allowing passive tracking of heat emissions and was similar to the later Texas Instruments AN/AAA-4 installed on early F-4 Phantoms. [3] AN/AAA-4 IRST under nose of F-4 Phantom

    The F1AD model is a specialized strike variant that lacks the standard radar unit; it is instead outfitted with a retractable fuel probe mounted on the nose. Four F1ADs were subsequently upgraded into a multirole configuration. [95] A Mirage F1BD, believed to be the only twin-seat aircraft of the type remaining in Libyan service at that time, 2009

    A lengthy nose-mounted probe carrying a pitot head was also added at this time. The most immediately obvious visual change to the aircraft was the new bright yellow overall paint scheme adopted, the P.111 having been either unpainted or silver coloured.

  7. SSVP docking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSVP_docking_system

    SSVP consists of two components; an active probe, and a passive drogue. The probe enters the drogue, and its tip is grasped by soft-capture latches which are then retracted using electrically driven motors to provide close alignment. Eight hard-capture locks then firmly attach the two spacecraft.

  8. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    A multimeter can use many different test probes to connect to the circuit or device under test. Crocodile clips, retractable hook clips, and pointed probes are the three most common types. Tweezer probes are used for closely spaced test points, as for instance surface-mount devices. The connectors are attached to flexible, well insulated leads ...

    The BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 was a planned maritime patrol and attack aircraft intended to replace the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR2.The rebuilt aircraft would have extended the operating life of the Nimrod fleet by several decades and significantly improved the aircraft by installing more efficient Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofan jet engines to almost double the flight range.
