		Airbus intended the A330 to compete directly in the ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards) market, specifically with the Boeing 767.
		The A330 basic fuselage design is inherited from the Airbus A300, as is the nose/cockpit section and the fly-by-wire system and flightdeck from the A320.
		A derivative of the A330, similar to the MRTT, is also in the running to land a contract from the United States Air Force for perhaps up to 600 tankers to replace the aging KC-135 and KC-10 fleet.

	Airbus - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The name "Airbus" was taken from a non-proprietary term used by the airline industry in the 1960s to refer to a commercial aircraft of a certain size and range, for this term was acceptable to the French linguistically.
		Airbus argues that the pork barrel military contracts awarded to Boeing (the second largest U.S. defence contractor) are in effect a form of subsidy (see the Boeing KC-767 military contracting controversy).
		Airbus would ideally like the A350 programme to be launched with the help of state loans covering a third of the development costs although it has stated it will launch without these loans if required.

		The Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) is a next generation aerial refueling Tanker aircraft based on the Airbus A330-200.
		One of the greatest attiributes of the A330 as a Tanker aircraft is its massive internal fuel capacity, the 111,000 kg / 122 tons of fuel is held in the wings which leaves the lower deck available for cargo.
		Another major benefit is the fact that as the 2 engine A330 and 4 engine A340 share the same wing, the A330 MRTT can use the extra Two wing hardpoints for refueling pods.

		Each Airbus A330 MRTT will be able to deliver 65 tonnes of fuel in its air-to-air refuelling role, at a distance of 1,000 miles from base, following up to two hours on station.
		All of the fuel, including that consumed by the A330 MRTT itself, is carried entirely within existing tanks in the wing and tail.
		The A330-200 is the second MRTT aircraft based on an Airbus airliner — A310 MRTTs are already being produced for the Canadian and German air forces.

		Airbus is given launch aid from European governments with the money being paid back with interest, but only if the plane is a commercial success[1], and contends that this is fully compliant with the 1992 agreement and WTO rules.
		The name "Airbus" was taken from a non-proprietary term used by the airline industry in the 1960s to refer to a commercial aircraft of a jet certain size and range, for this term was acceptable to the French linguistically.
		An original solution airbus to the problem barbara of moving aircraft parts between the different factories and the assembly plants is the use of "Beluga" specially enlarged jets, capable of carrying entire sections of fuselage of Airbus aircraft.

		Another major benefit of the A330 MRTT is the fact that the two engine A330 shares the same wing with the four engine A340.
		The A330 MRTT has been selected by Australia's RAAF, as well as the UK under the RAF's Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) project, to take the place of older tanker aircraft.
		Since that time, Airbus has been selected by both the UK and Australia, and EADS will have had operational experience of their refueling booms before even the most demanding USAF in service date; those booms being flight tested on the Airbus A310 MRTT first.

		Airbus launched both the A330 and A340 projects following several years of design studies investigating high-capacity, long-range aircraft.
		In keeping with the many advancements made by earlier Airbus products, the A330 and A340 set precedents of their own by becoming the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely by computer-aided design (CAD) software.
		In addition, the fly-by-wire control system developed for the A320 was incorporated into both aircraft as were the digitial cockpit displays used on the earlier A300 and A310.

	Expanding the Tanker Fleet
		While the Boeing 767 and Airbus A310 have been vigorously marketed, to date no conversions have been performed as the manufacturers seek customers which are prepared to absorb the NRE of a conversion design, prototyping and test.
		While the Boeing 767 and Airbus 330 would be viable alternatives with ample numbers appearing in the used aircraft market in coming years, until another party pays for the NRE of the tanker conversion they would be quite expensive.
		This is especially an issue for the Airbus designs, and makes both families of aircraft less than ideal for military use where transit and dash speed is an issue, such as supporting reactive long range CAPs and maritime or long range strike sorties, or emergency refuelling.

		There is no advantage for Airbus to certify the MRTT as a varient to the civil 330, it would require a certification program that would be available to all A330 operators as a STC, something which is expensive, and impossible to justify as a equivalent safety finding.
		Airbus does have mods which allow for a conversion of say A340-311 into A340-312 by application of Airbus Service Bulletin covering modification, to develop such a bulliten for the MRTT would be very very expensive, give everyone access to the aircraft capabilities.
