摘要

The KC-46 next generation tanker program is entering the often-problematic stage in a military aircraft's development program. It must move beyond being a "paper airplane" and actually prove its capabilities in the air with real metal, electronics, and composites. Early results have been mixed. A KC-46 test aircraft flew for the first time at the end of 2014, beating a deadline by days, but Boeing has also recently announced the program has gone $808 million over the company's budget thus far. This cost overrun is Boeing's problem (not USAF's or the taxpayers') because the KC-46 program is a firm, fixed-price contract. In fact, Boeing is believed to have deliberately underbid the price to win the contract-on the expectation that KC-46 work would later lead to other sales for the company. USAF is watching the progress very closely. The KC-46 is one of the service's top three modernization priorities, along with the F-35 strike fighter and the Long-Range Strike Bomber. An often-overlooked flying gas station mission holds this high-priority status for good reason.
