B-767NG From The KC-46A

KC-46A concept

Congratulations Boeing for your KC-46A tanker win!

20 more years for the B-767 line and maybe a 1500 aircraft production total.

This win opens new opportunities for the B-767.

On the military side, it can mean

1. more tanker orders from other countries
   
2. platform for an AWACS replacement
   
3. platform for JSTARS replacement
   
4. Other versions

On the civilian side, as the 767 and the KC-46A will be produced on a single line, the KC-46A may become the default configuration for a new B-767NG. This can have

1. B-787 style avionics
2. Winglets
3. B-787 style cabin
4. Weight reduction
5. Aerodynamic streamlining
6. Possible GEnX reengining
   

Boeing will surely use the KC-46A development process to reinvigorate the B-767 design, and the production process to come out with a more profitable B-767NG to operate.

This will be a welcome development for a lot of airlines unable to get into slots in the long B-787 line.
