EADS (Airbus parent) have confirmed that they will be putting in a bid (for the third time) for the Pentagon's air refueling tankers, based on the A330 tanker now flying for the Australian military. The A330 is of course an all metric plane. The US military I understand works in metric. The rival Boeing 767 tanker is of course a non-metric plane. I wonder if anyone knows (a) what units are used (or primarily used) in the bidding documents; and (b) following on from this, what units will be used in the aircraft's operation and maintenance?
