Airbus and the RAAF participate in the World's first automatic air to air refuelling.
Airbus Defence and Space has successfully demonstrated an automatic air-to-air (A3R) refuelling between two multi-role tanker transports.
In a joint operation with the Royal Australian Air Force – which is collaborating with Airbus in development of this pioneering technology – an Airbus company-development A310 tanker performed seven automatic contacts with a RAAF KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport, also made by Airbus.
