Is the Boeing NewGen Tanker really going to be that much better than the KC-767A/KC-767J? Although the Boeing NewGen Tanker may not be flying today, it is still a tanker/transport based on the Boeing 767 airliner. Would the performance of the KC-767A/KC-767J programs for the Italian Air Force and the Japan Self Defense Force be a good indicator of how the Boeing NewGen Tanker will perform for the United States Air Force? What does Boeing mean by the "sixth generation" boom and will it be much of an improvement over the boom that is currently in use on the KC-767A/KC-767J?
