EADS North America announced Monday that the third Australian A330 multirole tanker transport aircraft has made its maiden flight. It took to the skies for four hours from the plant in Brisbane, Australia, where workers converted it to its military configuration. EADS officials say this flight is further proof that the KC-45 tanker that the company is proposing to be the US Air Force's KC-X tanker is mature and low risk — compared to rival Boeing's 767-based NewGen Tanker design. The KC-45 has 95 percent commonality with the A330 MRTT, according to EADS.
"Every day, the A330 MRTT program is demonstrating that our KC-45 offers the US Air Force a tanker solution that is in production, flying today, and proven," said EADS North America Chairman Ralph Crosby.
Australia will receive its first MRTTs by year's end. The A330 MRTT just recently received its military certification.
