The A400M has completed air to air refueling of helicopters. The flight tests were performed in coordination with the French Armament General Directorate (DGA) and involved operations with two French Air Force H225M helicopters. The H225M are also some of the few helicopters that can perform air to air refueling. As you can see from the photo the refueling was demonstrated by the drogue method. The A400M is certified as standard to be quickly configured as a tanker. Carrying up to 50.8 tonnes of fuel in its wings and centre wing box, without compromising any cargo hold area, two additional cargo hold tanks can also be installed, providing an additional 5.7 tonnes of fuel each. The separate cargo-hold tanks allows for the use of different types of fuel, enabling the A400M to cater for the needs of different types of receiver aircraft.

Pilatus has another 9 PC-21 for the French Air Force. We say 'another 9' because the Air Force already purchased 17 of the PC-21 trainers in a 2017 order. The French procurement authority, the Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) , signed the agreement with F-AIR 21 (Cognac Formation Aero SAS France), with Pilatus acting as the exclusive subcontractor for the supply of the nine PC-21s and other ground-based training systems and spare parts. The order will secure jobs in Switzerland, where the PC-21s are produced.
