The A330 MRTT+ represents the natural evolution in the successful A330 MRTT programme, leveraging on more than 14 years of expertise and proven capabilities, with nine customers all over the world and accumulating more than 350,000 flight hours.
The A330 MRTT+ introduces innovations from the A330neo commercial airliner including a more comfortable and quiet cabin, the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, optimised aerodynamics and wing-tips. These deliver up to 8% lower fuel burn and reduced noise. An increased maximum take-off weight of 242 tonnes (up from 233 tonnes) further extends range, increases fuel offload capacity, and enhances operational flexibility.
The Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) is the strategic tanker aircraft of choice for the world's leading air forces. The A330 MRTT is the most capable and combat-proven tanker available today, providing unmatched flexibility and versatility in air-to-air refuelling (AAR), VIP, personnel and cargo transport, and aeromedical evacuation (MedEvac) missions.
