Boeing offered a 767-based tanker in the previous bid process, which a Northrop Grumman-EADS team won, in part, because its Airbus A330-based tanker was larger. The Pentagon threw out that win after congressional auditors found serious flaws in the process.
A 777-based tanker would be larger than the A330-based plane, but could be too big and take too long to develop to meet certain criteria in the draft request for proposals that the Air Force released last month.
