  Airbus A310 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Airbus A310 is a medium- to long-range widebody airliner developed from the Airbus A300 and manufactured by Airbus Industrie.
The A300 and A310 established Airbus as a major competitor to Boeing and allowed it to go ahead with the more ambitious A330/A340 family.
The A310 has long been operated by many of the world's airforces as a pure transport, however some are now being converted to the Multi Role Tanker Transport configuration by EADS, providing an aerial refueling capability.

 A310 MRTT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While operated for some time as a pure transport aircraft the Airbus A310 is now being offered as the Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) through the addition of an aerial refueling capability.
While the current MRTTs rely on probe/drogue refueling EADS has invested $90m in research and development of a boom refueling system - as used by the USAF.
They are now able to offer tankers from the small A310 with refueling pods to the large A330 MRTT equipped with refueling booms.

As Airbus was finalizing plans for the A300, many airlines expressed interest in a smaller, extended range model.
Following a number of design studies, Airbus announced that it would proceed with a derivative of the A300 called the A310.
The A310 combines a shortened A300 fuselage with a new tail assembly and wing, the latter making use of many advanced high-lift devices allowing wingspan and wing area to be greatly reduced.
