Boeing KC-46A refuels A-10 during Milestone C test. The KC-46A Pegasus is a wide-body, multi-role tanker that promises to revolutionize the air mobility mission. It can refuel all U.S., allied and coalition military aircraft compatible with international aerial refueling procedures, any time, on any mission, and can carry passengers, cargo and patients whenever and wherever needed. The ability to detect, avoid, defeat and survive threats using multiple layers of protection will allow the KC-46A to operate safely in medium-threat environments. With unmatched operational flexibility, the KC-46A is a mobility game changer. The KC-46A’s ability to refuel all fixed-wing receiver aircraft anytime, on every mission, including simultaneous multi-point refueling, is enabled by an advanced design fly-by-wire boom based on the proven KC-10 boom, and 21st century center-line and wing-mounted hose and drogue systems.
