Centerline Boom refers to the Boom refueling system used by the USAF among others, where a tanker plane connect to a plane with a long "flying" boom. This system is different from the Hose and Drogue system, uses by the US Navy among others, where the tanker trails a hose with a drogue at the end. The plane needing the fuel then flies itīs probe into the drogue, and refuels that way. The two systems are not mutually compatible, so itīs important to use the right tankers to the right aircraft.
