The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is a pioneering aerial refueling aircraft that has been a critical asset for the United States Air Force since its introduction in 1957. Developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype, the KC-135 was specifically designed to extend the operational range of military aircraft, including bombers and fighters, through mid-air refueling. Its four-engine design, based on the Boeing 707 airliner, allows for exceptional endurance and reliability during missions.
The KC-135 features an advanced flying boom system, enabling precise and efficient refueling for multiple aircraft types. Over its decades of service, it has supported countless military operations, including Vietnam, Desert Storm, and recent engagements in the Middle East. In addition to refueling, the Stratotanker has been adapted for roles such as personnel transport, medical evacuation, and cargo delivery, showcasing its versatility.
Modernization efforts have equipped the KC-135 with upgraded avionics, engines, and navigation systems, ensuring its relevance in contemporary military operations. Despite being one of the oldest tankers in service, it continues to play a vital role in global airpower.
