The Antonov aerial refueling tanker that U.S. Aerospace has proposed to the U.S. Air Force would save taxpayers billions, a company official said Tuesday.

"It's 20 to 30 million (dollars) cheaper a plane (to buy), but in maintenance and indirect costs it's a savings of billions over the term of the contract and the life of the plane," U.S. Aerospace board member Michael Goldberg told CNBC.
