Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) is a British project to procure aerial refuelling (AR) and air transport (AT) for the Royal Air Force to replace VC10 and Lockheed TriStars then in service. After evaluation of bids the RAF selected the AirTanker consortium who had offered the Airbus A330 MRTT. AirTanker is owned by Cobham plc, EADS, Rolls-Royce plc, Thales UK and VT Group plc. The Royal Australian Air Force announced in April 2004 that they had selected Airbus to provide tankers to a similar specification; in November 2010 it was suggested that the French Air Force might buy spare FSTA capacity.
