The U.S. Air Force has made an agreement with EADS, the European aircraft manufacturer, which has been vying against Chicago-based Boeing for the large military contract.
EADS is the winner of a US$40 billion military aircraft contract to supply refuelling aircraft to the airforce.
EADS will supply the USAF with a modified A330 with a larger capacity than the Boeing 767-200 plane which was on offer.
