Nice! Put some pressure on Boeing's relationship with the USAF for their tanker fiasco.

I wonder what's the idea behind this new partnership to target US defense customers.
Is a new refueling contract upcoming ? If so, I suppose Airbus and Lockheed-Martin are trying to convince the USAF to open a competition instead of offering Boeing an extension of its contract.
If this happens, we are set for a third round ...

If so, I suppose Airbus and Lockheed-Martin are trying to convince the USAF to open a competition instead of offering Boeing an extension of its contract. If this happens, we are set for a third round ... I'm a little intrigued by the following quote from the article:
"These may range from ways to support critical near-term air-refuelling needs, such as a fee-for-service structure to conceptualizing the tanker of the future."Are they looking at a "try it before you buy it" business model? Or be ready to fill gaps in the USAF's needs if Boeing screws up for some reason? |
