The A330 MRTT (Multi Role Transport Tanker), is an aircraft with a maximum fuel capacity of 140,000 litres which also retains its full passenger capacity thereby retaining the dual use capability of the aircraft. The in-flight transfer of fuel can either be carried out either by hose-and-drogue systems or by boom system. The entirely new ARBS (Air Refuelling Boom System) is a system with an advanced air refuelling boom main structure, fly-by-wire control with a larger refuelling envelope and controllability, including an automatic load alleviation system. The maximum nominal fuel flow is 1200 US gal./min. In addition to the fuel transfer, it covers the control and command systems installed in the rear part of the aircraft and communicates with the entire avionics and communication system of the aircraft. Purchasers of the MRTT Boom are the Australian Armed Forces, the UK , the UAE and the USA.
