Truth EADS/NG 22 Generals either on there payroles or consultants period.
Just like the KC-45. KC-30 a330MRTT crap you’ve been spreading EADS has 1, 1 working boom. ! delivered to RAAF but not operational or flying as a tanker.
The KC-767 has flown has passed gas. Doesn’t matter if its a,j or a at model. Its like buying a truck base model or you can get the fully loaded option. Unlike the eads your stuck with the YUGO. No up no downs NO EXTRA’s except a substandard tanker that cannot perform the JOB.
No, EADS has 1, 1 working boom mounted to an A310MRTT. They have a second boom mounted to an RAAF KC-30 that is functional but awaiting the fly-by-wire software being developed in the A310MRTT testbed.
How many 6th generation booms, that Boeing bid for the KC-X contract, are flying? What's that? Zero you say? True because the Japanese and Italian tankers are using a 5th generation boom. The 6th generation boom is still on paper. It's not even in prototype form yet.
False. That’s nine.....One (1), Two (2), Three (3), Four (4), Five (5), Six (6), Seven (7), Eight (8), NINE (9) of those generals were working for NG/EADS.
“Just like the KC-45. KC-30 a330MRTT crap you’ve been spreading EADS has 1, 1 working boom. ! delivered to RAAF but not operational or flying as a tanker.”
Well that’s still more than the NON-EXISTANT KC-767AT.
“The KC-767 has flown has passed gas.”
So hasn’t the KC-30, and the first 2 KC-45’s will be doing it soon.
“Doesn’t matter if its a,j or a at model.”
Yes it does since the AT doesn’t exist beyond some drawings and CGI animations.
“Unlike the eads your stuck with the YUGO.”
BS
“No up no downs NO EXTRA’s except a substandard tanker that cannot perform the JOB.”
So says the know it all “expert” /sarc
According to the Air Force, the KC-45 did a better job than the Boeing design.
Flys farther, higher, faster.
Has a longer loiter time.
Can offload more fuel at any given range at a faster rate than the Boeing design.
Can take off in a shorter distance at MTOW.
Can land in a shorter distance.
Can carry more cargo, passengers and litters.
It can self deploy without the need for additional transport aircraft.
Most importantly.....It’s available NOW unlike the Boeing design that’s 5 or more years away from rolling off the lines and then another year or two before it’s FAA certified.
Survivability is a moot point since neither aircraft will be flown over the FEBA, and they’ll be outfitted with whatever countermeasures/survivability gear the Air Force specifies.
