I’m putting together a big table of tanker figures, and while the Boeing airplanes are generally easy, I have some gaps for the Airbus tankers and the VC10s.
What sort of HDUs do they use on:
The German A310 MRTTs, the Canadian MRTTs, the Aussie A330s and the proposed FSTA aircraft?
How many of the FSTA aircraft will have a centreline HDU, and what sort will it be?
What sort of underwing HDUs will they use on the A400M?
When the ex-BA 767s were being proposed for FSTA were they going to be 2 point or 3 point tankers, and what sort of HDUs were going to be used? How many pallets and how many pax could they have carried?
How many pallets and how many pax will the FSTA A330 carry?
What are the MTOWs for all VC10 versions, and the total fuel capacity figures for the K2, assuming that 70.3, 80 and 68 tonnes are right for the C1K, K3 and K4?
How many pallets can a C1K carry, and how many pax can the non-passenger tankers (K2, 3, 4) carry?
I’m putting together something on historic tankers, too,
so…..
Does anyone have MTOW and total fuel figures for the Valiant B(K)1, Victor B1A (K2P), K1, K1A and K2, and for the Hercules C1K. What was the HDU on the C1K?
And how about for the Myasischev ‘Bison’ tanker variants?
