the airbus a-330 mrtt is an aerial refuelling tanker aircraft based on the civilian airbus a330. a total of 12 nations have placed firm orders for approximately 60 aircraft, of which 46 had been delivered by 30 november 2020. the a330 mrtt has a maximum fuel capacity of 111,000 kg (245,000 lb) without the use of additional fuel tanks, leaving space for 45,000 kg (99,000 lb) of additional cargo. the a330 mrtt's wing has common structure with the four-engine a340-200/-300 with reinforced mounting locations and provision for fuel piping for the a340's outboard engines. the a330 mrtt's wing therefore requires little modification to use these hardpoints for the wing refuelling pods.
