The panel touchscreen technology and interface allow the control of various interior functions on the new strategic transport aircraft.

BAE will convert its 737 attendant control panel (ACP) into a derivative aircraft application to support the tanker project.

BAE Systems aircraft electronics director Steve Hissong said the system could be installed on legacy aircraft, making the touchscreen controls a suitable solution for the KC-46A.
