the a400m plane has been a brand failure, it's military and on a different league than civilian planes however.


And how has the KC-46 done compared to the A330 MRTT?


Per a quick check of Wikipedia it seems like they're about equal.

The KC46 is being fielded by the US and a few nations that the US traditionally use the same arms.

The A330 is fielded by the UK, a couple commonwealth nations and KSA

Total number built is in the 30s for both.


The MRTT is being used in the field. The KC-46 not so much:
