The Air Force will be compelled to keep large numbers of KC-135s in service until these (or other) tankers come into service in sufficient numbers in the 2030s. JetZero is planning for the blended wing body to become a commercial airliner. [...] The other tanker in development is the Next-Generation Aerial Refueling System (NGAS) being developed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works. NGAS is designed as a stealthy platform (which would enable it to fly closer to or in contested airspace). There have been discussions if the aircraft will be manned or unmanned (recent renderings of NGAS show it to be an unmanned platform). Currently, the NGAS is planned to enter service by around 2035. However, there are doubts about the future of the program [...] The United States Air Force has operated refueling aircraft since the 1950s and some types of aircraft (like the Boeing B-52) have been refueled by four types of tankers - the KC-97 Stratofreighter, KC135 Stratotanker, KC-10 Extender, and the KC-46 Pegasus.

Airbus partnered with Northrop Grumman to offer the Airbus A330 MRTT, the tanker version of the A330, which was marketed to the USAF under the designation KC-30. In January 2007, the USAF issued the KC-X Aerial Refueling Aircraft RFP, calling for 179 tankers, four [...] In April 2014, the USAF announced that the KC-46 will be based at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas, with an optimistic expectation of receiving the first of 36 tankers in 2016. McConnell AFB was chosen because it had low construction costs and it is in a location with a high demand for air refueling, having KC-135s based there. In addition to McConnell AFB serving as the home base, up to 10 operating bases will be used by the KC-46. Crews will be trained at Altus Air Force Base, [...] In February 2011, the USAF announced the selection of Boeing's KC-767 bid, which was designated KC-46A. Boeing was awarded a development contract, which called for the delivery of 18 initial operational KC-46s by 2017. The USAF sought a total of 179 new tankers.
