%X Tanker aircraft are one of the most important pillars of every nation’s air force, supporting remote
operations and allowing a fast deployment and operation of different type of military aircraft which
perform aerial refueling. Airbus A330 MRTT and Boeing KC-46A Pegasus are the current leading
tanker aircraft in service, which are manufactured from commercial aircraft conversion processes.
This project describes the complete preliminary design and analysis of a new multirole jet
transport tanker aircraft which aims to be highly versatile and efficient, combining the best
attributes from modern airliners and military tanker aircraft including some of the latest
techniques, technological means, engineering solutions and state-of-the-art systems which are
used in aviation industry.
Modern tools are used in the elaboration of this project, making use of advanced engineering
software to support the design, optimization and analysis process of this tanker aircraft, called
“LT-018 Archangel”.
