~ Northrop Grumman and EADS KC-45 Tanker

»The KC-45 Tanker
ξ Northrop Grumman leading an industry team to deliver a total air mobility solution for the U.S. Air Force's next-generation tanker requirement
ξ KC-45 Tanker Aircraft is a derivative of the multi-role tanker that already has been selected for service in the air forces of Australia, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
ξ is an exceptional aerial refueling platform
ξ offers full operational flexibility for cargo, passengers and aeromedical evacuation
ξ equipped with a centerline flying boom - along with
ξ two underwing hose and drogue pods
ξ a fuselage hose and
ξ drogue refueling unit
ξ can refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously
ξ is interoperable with U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied aircraft on the same mission without downtime for ground reconfiguration
ξ is derived from the A330 widebody twin-engine passenger jet,
ξ which has earned its reputation as the commercial airliner of choice for leading carriers worldwide
ξ provides exceptional operational capabilities and superior performance for the KC-45 as a next-generation military tanker
ξ a large existing fuel capacity in the wings;
ξ an advanced digital cockpit with fly-by-wire controls for excellent handling qualities and low crew workload;
ξ a fuselage cross-section maximized for both passenger and cargo payloads
ξ underfloor holds that are sized to accommodate NATO standard 463L pallets, bulk cargo and side-by-side LD-3 containers
ξ a derivative of a modern commercial jetliner early in its operational prime
ξ low life cycle costs,
ξ continued manufacturer upgrades and improvements, and
ξ a guaranteed supply of spare parts for decades to come
ξ selected by NATO and allied nations as the optimal solution for meeting next-generation military tanker requirements
ξ Australia is acquiring five A330 MRTTs (Multi-Role Tanker Transports),
ξ the first of which has begun flight testing prior to its 2008 delivery to the Royal Australian Air Force,
ξ followed by a 2009 entry into operational service
ξ The A330 MRTT also has been chosen by Saudi Arabia and the United Emirates,
ξ both of which have announced plans to acquire three aircraft each
ξ as with Australia, the A330 MRTTs for these two countries will be equipped with the advanced fly-by-wire Aerial Refueling Boom (ARBS)
ξ and digital underwing hose & drogue refueling pods � the same configuration for Northrop Grumman�s KC-45 Tanker proposed to the U.S. Air Force
ξ in the United Kingdom, the AirTanker industry group and its A330-200 tanker/transport solution were selected for the country�s Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft requirement
ξ a 14-aircraft fleet will be owned and supported by AirTanker,
ξ and made available for air-to-air refueling with hoses and drogues, as well as for air transport duties
ξ In America, an open and competitive selection process for the next generation U.S. Air Force tanker will produce the optimal aircraft system
ξ at a price point that creates best value for the Department of Defense, the services, coalition forces and the American taxpayer.
ξ The KC-45 Tanker has consistently demonstrated its success as a world-class refueling platform in competitive selection processes.
ξ The KC-45 industrial team is committed to delivering an American military aircraft program,
ξ with tanker assembly and production taking place in Mobile, Alabama
ξ 58 percent of the aircraft, subsystems and support being provided by hundreds of American partners and suppliers
ξ The KC-45 program will result in the in-sourcing of thousands of U.S aerospace jobs.
