Airbus Transforms A330s into Multi Role Tanker Transports Through an Optimised Conversion Process

Having earned its reputation as the new-generation aerial tanker of choice for military services worldwide, Airbus’ A330 Multi Role Tanker Transports (MRTTs) are now being outfitted for their multi-mission duties in an optimised industrial process – enabling five aircraft to undergo the conversion every year.

The A330 MRTT is based on Airbus’ popular A330 widebody passenger airliner, with the aircraft produced on the company’s commercial airplane final assembly line in Toulouse, France. Once their initial built-up is complete, they are flown to Airbus’ military aircraft facility in Getafe, Spain to be transformed with hardware and systems for their dual roles as an air-to-air refuelling platform and an airlifter for troops and cargo.

Thousands of new parts integrated

During the conversion, Airbus teams install some 16,000 types of new components and approximately 450 new electrical harnesses (for a total cabling length of more than 50 km.), as well as 6,000 brackets and 1,700 connectors.

With 42 A330 MRTTs delivered to date, Airbus’ has reduced the end-to-end transformation time by one month, introducing increased digitalization and applying the “takt” principle of lean production methodology – in which the aircraft moves through the conversion with zero hours pending and zero work orders open.

The digitalization includes the increasing use of Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headsets instead of computer tablets. With 80 to 90 work orders now produced with HoloLens, the goal is to apply the system during 2020 for 50% of overall work orders, mainly for electrical and hydraulic installations.

A key element of the conversion is installing the A330 MRTT’s air-to-air refuelling hardware. All aircraft are equipped with hose and drogue units, and most customers have opted for Airbus’ highly capable fly-by-wire Aerial Refuelling Boom System (ARBS) – which provides enhanced controllability during in-flight fuel transfers to receiver airplanes.

The A330 MRTT transformation process includes locating the Airbus-developed Air Refuelling Console in the cockpit area behind the pilots. Containing seats for two crew members, this station enables the aerial refuelling to be remotely controlled, aided by an advanced high-resolution observation system with panoramic 3D-vision for operations day and night.

On the A330 MRTT’s main deck, the aircraft’s widebody cross-section can be configured a variety of roles, from the transportation of troops and personnel with capacities for 268 passengers in a two-class configuration, to aeromedical evacuation – accommodating two intensive care units, 16 stretchers, along with seating for medical staff and passengers.

Customers from around the world

Airbus delivered its initial A330 MRTT in December 2009, with this no. 1 aircraft received by the Royal Australian Air Force. Today, A330 MRTTs are flown by Australia, France, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the United Emirates and United Kingdom – logging a combined total of more than 200,000 flight hours.

A total of 60 A330 MRTTs have been ordered for operations at the service of 13 nations.

Super Puma crash investigation Norway
On 29 April 2016, a CHC Helikopter Service Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma helicopter, carrying oil workers from the Gullfaks B platform in the North Sea, crashed near Turøy, a Norwegian coastal island 36 kilometres (22 mi) from the city of Bergen.

Several witnesses reported initially seeing nothing untoward with the helicopter flying steadily, before the sound suddenly changed and it started to sway.

A moment later its main rotor assembly detached from the aircraft and the fuselage plummeted to the ground and exploded into flames.

All 13 crew and passengers died in the crash.

A diferença entre o caro e o barato.

Citação de: Airbus
The French Armament General Directorate (DGA) ordered 42 new H145 helicopters at the end of 2023, on behalf of the Ministry of Interior, with deliveries set to start in 2024. Of these 42 helicopters, 36 are destined for the French rescue and emergency response agency, Sécurité Civile, while the French law enforcement agency, Gendarmerie Nationale, will use six. The contract includes an option for a further 22 H145s for the Gendarmerie Nationale and a range of support and service solutions from training to spare parts, as well as a complete initial support package for the aircraft.

(...)

The six H145s will initiate the renewal of the Gendarmerie’s fleet, composed of Ecureuils, EC135s and EC145s. They will be equipped with an electro-optical system and a mission computer to perform the most demanding law enforcement missions.

Arabia Saudí se plantea comprar a Airbus aviones A400M y más A330 MRTT
(6 de Fevereiro de 2024)
Citação de: Ginés Soriano / InfoDefensa
Airbus tiene en su punto de mira importantes paquetes de aviones militares para Arabia Saudí. El responsable del departamento Air Power (Poder Aéreo) de la compañía franco-germano-española, Jean-Bruce Dumont, ha revelado que el país está considerando la adquisición de un número no definido de aviones de transporte militar A400M. Y, sobre todo, Riad ya se encuentra en negociaciones con la empresa para hacerse con más unidades del avión de transorte y suministro de combustible en vuelo A330 MRTT, de los que ya cuenta con media docena de unidades en la actualidad.

Estas revelaciones han sido recogidas por la agencia de información financiera estadounidense Bloomberg en el contexto de la feria sectorial World Defense Show, que tiene lugar en la capital saudí desde el domingo, y concluirá el próximo jueves.

El interés del país por estos dos modelos de aviones militares de Airbus se suma al ya conocido por el caza Eurofighter, del que ya adquirió 72 unidades y está interesada en hacerse con otros 48 más. En este caso, la operación, acordada inicialmente por Reino Unido (la británica BAE Systems es socia de este avión de combate junto a Airbus y la italiana Leonardo), ha estado vetada por Alemania, recelosa por la acusación de violaciones a los derechos humanos por parte de Riad en la guerra que mantiene en Yemen, y por el asesinato en 2018 del periodista Jamal Khashoggi en el consulado saudí de Estambul. Sin embargo, la guerra en Gaza, tras el ataque de Hamás a Israel el 7 de octubre, ha llevado a Berlín a replantear su posición y abrir el camino a esta posible venta. El éxito de la potencial operación con los A400M también está relacionado con este cambio de posición alemán.
