This week Boeing announced that they are offering the Boeing NewGen Tanker aircraft based on the Boeing 767. This aircraft will be the Boeing bid in the US Air Force competition to replace 179 KC-135 tanker aircraft. Potentially if this competition would be won by Boeing the follow-on order could comprise hundreds more aircraft of the same type to be manufactured over the course of several decades and thus giving the old 767 a complete new lease of life. The flight deck of the Boeing NewGen Tanker will be completely revised and will feature the big flight displays of the Boeing 787. In addition to its tanker role the Boeing NewGen Tanker can also be used to transport military personnel and cargo.Check out this cool Boeing video to learn more about this aircraft:
