The authors of this report examine improvement in acquisition and sustainment of commercial derivative aircraft using a case study of the KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tanker, with emphases on Federal Aviation Administration certification, data rights, and organic-oriented sustainment. The KC-46A is intended to gradually replace the U.S. Air Force’s aging KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-10 Extender .
