With a potential order of this magnitude, would an A338 derived tanker have enough potential advantages over the current A332 MRTT to justify development? I mean better fuel burn, higher MTOW and range etc? Or would the extra performance be insufficient to justify the the expense? I'm guessing if the 787 composite structure rules it out, then the A350 is in the same boat.
