Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N463FT, is a Boeing KC-46A Pegasus built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 34054.

The cabin of N463FT is fitted with 15 permanent crew/passenger seats and a configurable cabin arrangement allowing carriage of up to ~54 passengers in routine configurations, with contingency arrangements reported up to 114 personnel. The airframe retains aeromedical pallet capability with space for up to 18 × 463L pallets, enabling rapid reconfiguration for patient evacuation or cargo roles. Mission systems include a Collins Aerospace / Rockwell Collins large-format digital flight deck with 4×15.1" LCD displays, together with the Tactical Situational Awareness System (TSAS) and mission avionics specifically tailored for the KC-46A tanker mission set. Typical operations for this airframe reflect long-range, multi-role tanker and transport profiles consistent with its published 6,385 nm range and high-altitude envelope to 40,100 ft, operated from the owner’s base in Everett, Washington.
As a member of the KC-46A family, this airframe combines twin high-thrust turbofans and modern mission avionics to serve extended-range tanker and transport duties within a fixed-wing multi-engine category. Its combination of a long-range capability, a cruise speed of 460 kts, and flexible cabin and pallet configurations position the model for roles requiring rapid reconfiguration between personnel transport, aeromedical evacuation, and tanker support. Maintenance considerations for the type reflect integration of large-format digital cockpit displays and mission systems, while resale or transfer opportunities for an airframe like N463FT are shaped by its corporate ownership and U.S. registration.
