KC-767 Advanced Tanker
The KC-767 Advanced Tanker is a fuel efficient, long-range aircraft that delivers a new standard in mission performance and operational flexibility. With outstanding takeoff performance, essential on short runways, the KC-767 tanker is capable of operating with a full fuel load from 900 more airfields than the current KC-135. Its soft footprint allows it to transport more fuel from 45 percent more runways than the competitor. These features allow operational planners unparalleled flexibility supporting America's worldwide commitments. Its unique design configurations support diverse air refueling, cargo, passenger and aeromedical evacuation missions. Factor in low operating and life-cycle costs and it becomes an extremely attractive solution for recapitalizing the U.S. Air Force's air refueling fleet. The KC-767's size, capabilities and economical operating costs provide an ideal balance of range, fuel offload and multimission capability.
