Este es uno de los problemas m\u00e1s evidentes de la Real Fuerza A\u00e9rea, y despu\u00e9s de quince a\u00f1os, la RAF finalmente ha declarado p\u00fablicamente su intenci\u00f3n de solucionarlo.<\/p>\r\n<p>Hablando con <em>Semana de la Aviaci\u00f3n<\/em> En una entrevista publicada el 16 de julio de 2026, el Jefe del Estado Mayor del Aire, Mariscal del Aire Harv Smyth, confirm\u00f3 que la Fuerza A\u00e9rea est\u00e1 en conversaciones con AirTanker para equipar su flota de Airbus A330 Voyager con p\u00e9rtigas de reabastecimiento en vuelo.

Solo se reabastece mediante p\u00e9rtiga. Por lo tanto, cada vez que un Rivet Joint de la RAF necesita repostar durante una misi\u00f3n larga, la RAF ha tenido que solicitar a un avi\u00f3n cisterna de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea de los Estados Unidos que realice el trabajo que sus propios Voyager no pueden hacer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid  #1565c0; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cTenemos un requisito de GCAP para un brazo articulado, as\u00ed que tenemos que resolver ese requisito, y eso es lo que estamos analizando ahora.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>funcionario de la RAF<\/strong> \u2014 citado por Aviation Week, 15 de julio de 2026<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">GCAP fuerza la cuesti\u00f3n<\/h2>\r\n<p>El detonante es el Programa A\u00e9reo de Combate Global: el caza de sexta generaci\u00f3n que Gran Breta\u00f1a, Italia y Jap\u00f3n est\u00e1n desarrollando para reemplazar al Typhoon.
