The UK Royal Air Force’s (RAF) first two Voyager A330 future strategic tanker aircraft (FSTA) are undergoing the final testing phase in MoD Boscombe Down, UK.
This phase, being executed by AirTanker in collaboration with the RAF, involves receiver clearance trials, a series of flight and ground tests that will prove the aircraft’s capability to refuel RAF jets and large aircraft.
