It is designed as a dual-role air-to-air refuelling and transport aircraft. For air-to-air refuelling missions, the A330 MRTT can be equipped with a combination of any of the following systems:[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <ul><li>Refuelling other aircraft <ul><li>Airbus Military Aerial Refuelling Boom System (ARBS) for <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling#Flying_boom" title="Aerial refueling">receptacle-equipped</a> receiver aircraft.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cobham_plc" class="mw-redirect" title="Cobham plc">Cobham</a> 905E under-wing refuelling pods for <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling#Probe-and-drogue" title="Aerial refueling">probe-equipped</a> receiver aircraft.</li> <li>Cobham 805E Fuselage Refuelling Unit (FRU) for probe-equipped receiver aircraft</li></ul></li> <li>Being refuelled <ul><li>Universal Aerial Refuelling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) for self in-flight refuelling.</li></ul></li></ul> The A330 MRTT has a maximum fuel capacity of 111,000 kg (245,000 lb) without the use of additional fuel tanks, leaving space for 45,000 kg (99,000 lb) of additional cargo. The A330 MRTT's wing has common structure with the four-engine <a href="/wiki/Airbus_A340" title="Airbus A340">A340-200/-300</a> with reinforced mounting locations and provision for fuel piping for the A340's outboard engines. The A330 MRTT's wing therefore requires little modification to use these <a href="/wiki/Hardpoint" title="Hardpoint">hardpoints</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling#Probe_and_Drogue_Operation" title="Aerial refueling">wing refuelling pods</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">unreliable source?</a>] The A330 MRTT cabin can be modified to carry up to 380 passengers in a single-class configuration, allowing a complete range of configurations from maximised troop transport to complex customisation suitable for VIP and guest missions. Available configurations include 300 passengers in a single class and 266 passengers in two classes.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The A330 MRTT can also be configured to perform Medical Evacuation (Medevac) missions; up to 130 standard stretchers can be carried. The main deck cargo configuration allows carriage of standard commercial containers and pallets, military, ISO and NATO pallets (including seats) and containers, and military equipment and other large items which are loaded through a cargo door. Like the A330-200, the A330 MRTT includes two lower deck cargo compartments (forward and aft) and a bulk area capability. The cargo hold has been modified to be able to transport up to eight military pallets in addition to civilian <a href="/wiki/Unit_load_device" title="Unit load device">unit load devices</a> (ULDs).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] An optional <a href="/wiki/Crew_rest_compartment" title="Crew rest compartment">crew rest compartment</a> (CRC) can be installed in the forward cabin, accommodating a spare crew to increase time available for a mission. The passenger cabin of the A330 MRTT can be provided with a set of removable <a href="/wiki/Airstair" title="Airstair">airstairs</a> to enable embarkation and disembarkation when <a href="/wiki/Jet_bridge" title="Jet bridge">jet bridges</a> or ground support equipment are not available.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Standard commercial A330-200s are delivered from Airbus's Final Assembly Line in <a href="/wiki/Toulouse" title="Toulouse">Toulouse</a>, <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Airbus_Military" title="Airbus Military">Airbus Military</a> Conversion Centre in <a href="/wiki/Getafe" title="Getafe">Getafe</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> for fitting of refuelling systems and military avionics.

occurred between a boom-equipped A330 MRTT and a Portuguese Air Force <a href="/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon" title="General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon">General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon</a> over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal. Early reports indicated that the boom broke off at the aft end of the boom near the F-16's receptacle, causing the boom to recoil into the MRTT's underside. The boom then became uncontrollable and oscillated until it broke off the boom assembly at the pivot point.<a href="#cite_note-KC-30_mishap-214">[214]</a> Both aircraft were damaged but landed safely.<a href="#cite_note-215">[215]</a> The A330 MRTT involved was an Airbus test aircraft destined for the RAAF, operated by an Airbus crew. At the time of the incident, Airbus had not yet begun deliveries.<a href="#cite_note-KC-30_mishap-214">[214]</a> On 10 September 2012, an A330 MRTT's refuelling boom detached in flight at an altitude of 27,000 ft (8,200 m) in Spanish airspace.<a href="#cite_note-Flightglobal1-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-AviationWeek1-216">[216]</a> The boom separated cleanly at a mechanical joint and fell to the ground, while the tanker landed safely in <a href="/wiki/Getafe" title="Getafe">Getafe</a> without any injuries.<a href="#cite_note-Flightglobal1-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-AviationWeek1-216">[216]</a> The fault was attributed to a conflict between the backup boom hoist (fitted to the UAE-destined MRTTs) and the primary boom retraction mechanism, as well as to the test conducted.<a href="#cite_note-Flightglobal1-49">[49]</a> Airbus later explained that the malfunction was not possible under ordinary operating conditions, and that procedures had been implemented to avoid similar incidents in the future.<a href="#cite_note-Flightglobal1-49">[49]</a> Following the incident, the <a href="/wiki/Instituto_Nacional_de_T%C3%A9cnica_Aeroespacial" class="mw-redirect" title="Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial">Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial</a>, Spain's airworthiness authority, issued precautionary restrictions to other users of boom-equipped A330s.<a href="#cite_note-Flightglobal1-49">[49]</a> On 9 February 2014, a <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a> A330 MRTT Voyager carrying 189 passengers and 9 crew from <a href="/wiki/RAF_Brize_Norton" title="RAF Brize Norton">RAF Brize Norton</a> to <a href="/wiki/Camp_Bastion" class="mw-redirect" title="Camp Bastion">Camp Bastion</a> suddenly lost 4,440 ft (1,350 m) of altitude in 27 seconds and reaching a maximum descent rate of 15,000 ft/min (4,600 m/min) while the co-pilot was out of the cockpit.<a href="#cite_note-camera_incident-217">[217]</a> The sudden descent caused several injuries to passengers and crew, some of whom struck the ceiling of the aircraft.
