This beautiful KC-46A powered by
This beautiful KC-46A powered by two mighty 2 Pratt & Whitney 4062 blasting out 62,000 lbs of thrust each, is able to refuel most fixed-wing, receiver-capable aircraft. The KC-46A is equipped with a refueling boom driven by a fly-by-wire control system, and is capable of fuel offload rates required for large aircraft. Its hose and drogue system adds additional mission capability that is independently operable from the refueling boom system.
The KC-46 fuel can be pumped through the boom, drogue and wing aerial refuelling pods. All KC-46A are capable of being configured with WARPs, and when equipped, the aircraft is capable of multi-point simultaneous aerial refuelling. The Boom Operator controls the boom, centerline drogue and WARPs during refueling operations. The Air Refuelling Operator station includes panoramic displays giving the ARO wing-tip to wing-tip situational awareness.
The KC-46A can accommodate a mixed load of passengers, aeromedical evacuation and cargo capabilities. Two high-bypass turbofans power the KC-46A to takeoff at gross weights up to 415,000 pounds. Depending on fuel storage configuration, the aircraft can carry a palletized load of up to 65,000 pounds of cargo. The KC-46A can carry up to 18 463L cargo pallets. Seat tracks and the onboard cargo handling system make it possible to simultaneously carry palletized cargo and passenger seats in a variety of combinations. The KC-46A is also equipped with a number of self-protection, defensive and communication features making it more survivable in a contested environment.
