Young says Boeing tanker was $3billion more expensive
John Young, the Pentagon's undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, said developing the first 68 tankers based on the KC-330 will be $3billion cheaper than Boeing's design.

Young said that Northrop promised earlier delivery and that its aircraft "provided more tanker capability and offload rate and was substantially cheaper to develop."
