KC-46A and B-1

Boeing says the NewGen Tanker has a "modern, digital flight deck" that's based on the electronic displays in its new 787 Dreamliner, a much delayed commercial jumbo jet that the company says will finally reach its first customer in the third quarter of this year. The tanker incorporates a fly-by-wire (that is, electronic) control system, though Boeing also says that it's based on "a flight control design philosophy that places aircrews in command rather than allowing computer software to limit combat maneuverability."
