Boeing KC-46A Pegasus

The KC-46 is the most advanced multi-mission aerial refueler in the world. Built to meet the requirements of the U.S. Air Force and allies for the full spectrum of missions, the combat-ready KC-46 Pegasus delivers proven multi-mission aerial refueling capabilities today, and continues to evolve to meet the needs of tomorrow.

The Pegasus is capable of refueling all U.S. allied and coalition military aircraft compatible with international aerial refueling procedures, any time, on any mission, and can carry passengers, cargo and patients whenever and wherever needed.

As a connectivity hub at the tactical edge, the KC-46A provides data as well as fuel to the joint force. Armed with data links and primed for Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) integration, it connects multi-domain warfighters, providing tactical situational awareness and real-time information superiority.

Boeing has delivered 94 tankers to the U.S. Air Force and four to Japan.
