The KC-380, a Aerial Refueling Tanker using just a modified Airbus A380 airframe, with the only major modification being the transition of the Cargo hold and some other spaces into Fuel Tanks, as well as the addition of the Probe and Drogues and a Flying Boom. Other than these, the Airframe is largely identical to that of the Original aircraft.

The KC-40A can carry up to 335,000kg of fuel, far more than any of its counterparts, allowing for it to refuel a large number of aircraft very quickly. It does this by having both a flying boom, allowing for very speedy refueling of United States Air Force style aircraft, such as the F-22 and F-15, or 2 Probe and Drogues, allowing to refuel 2 eastern bloc style aircraft as well, while not as fast, the aircraft can refuel up to 3 aircraft at a time. The duration of the mission will decide just how much fuel is off loadable. In addition, the KC-40A also has the ability to be refueled in midair, allowing it to stay on station longer or offload most of its fuel in the air than have another aircraft give it enough fuel to get back to base.

We must unfortunately deny this request, as not only is it a puny amount for this design, but 50mn off of the first 10 aircraft is such a small amount of money, i would never even think of it.

Okay, thats all I need to hear, Thank you for your time.

note: Consider this a friendly competition between companies, we will compete against you in the fuel tanker market. May the best aircaft win.

The Former Principalities military wishes to purchase 12 of these aircraft as soon as possible. The money, $3,270,000,000 according to your listed price per aircraft, will be wired to your nation once we receive confirmation of the deal. Is this acceptable?

Approved

Excellent. We will wore the money to your accounts once we are informed of the departure time of the shipment. Thank you for accepting our offer.

I will purchase 2 if you upgrade the engine to 4 Pratt and Whitney Engines. Don't car what model of engine. I will pay up to 10,000,000 NSD.

Not only will that amount of money not even come close to covering the amount of money required for even ONE aircraft, we would not even think of re-engining one for such a pitiful amount of money.

How much money do you want for rengining it.

For 10 million, we could sell you this:

620 Million for the 2 aircraft and around 25 Million for the Re-enginging of them.

For testing purposes we will purchase two aircraft for $620 Million. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Approved.

OK we'll pay extra for reengining them. so we'll buy 10. Payment will come once we receive shipping.
