Airbus and Singapore Secure World-First Certification for Automated Aerial Refuelling Aviation News – Airbus and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) have achieved the world’s first full certification for Automatic Air-to-Air Refuelling (A3R) on the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT). This landmark approval by the Spanish National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) marks a shift toward fully autonomous support operations in military aviation. The certification follows a rigorous qualification and flight-test campaign conducted through a tripartite partnership between Airbus, Singapore's Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), and the RSAF.
