Press Release: The United States Tanker

The United States Air Force is holding a competition to pick the new United States Tanker, a decision that will have a long-term effect on America’s national security and ability to project power around the world. When it comes to tankers, our nation’s warfighters deserve the best capabilities and taxpayers deserve the best value.

Boeing is looking forward to the competition. We believe that our rich legacy of tanker experience – which includes inventing and advancing boom refueling technology by delivering more than 2,000 tankers over six decades – gives us the edge in providing the U.S. Air Force with the most capable tanker for the best value.

We’ve created UnitedStatesTanker.com in order to speak directly to you about our plans, as well as provide updates on news as it happens. We hope to foster a transparent and lively dialogue about our next tanker that will educate everyone involved.

The new United States Tanker will make America’s military more capable and more efficient. UnitedStatesTanker.com is dedicated to that future. Welcome.
