The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is a United States aerial refueling tanker aircraft. It has been in service with the United States Air Force since 1957. The KC-135E is the only user-controlled tanker aircraft available in FlightGear at the moment.

The maximum fuel load is 200,000 lb (90,719 kg) or 31,275 US gal (118 kL).

The boom will extend automatically when the aircraft's gear is retracted.

Development

INFO AS OF MID-OCTOBER 2010 This list has not been finalized. I am not sure, please correct me if I am wrong, but for the Standard Version of the KC-135E, there needs to be:

  • Reverse Thrust
  • Pushback (If not yet in, will be developed by Airbird1)
  • Actual KC-135 cockpit (the current one is a 737-800)
  • Perhaps a development on the Aircraft Help?
  • Liveries
