It's official: Northrop has decided not to partner with EADS for the U.S. Air Force's KC-X Tanker Replacement Program. Click below to read a statement issued by Wes Bush, CEO and President of Northrop Grumman, concerning the company's decision to drop out of the program. In essence, Northrop wanted out because they felt that the Air Force's new requirements would clearly favor Boeing's smaller tanker offering (dubbed the NewGen Tanker). The statement also says that Northrop will not protest the final RFP. No word yet on whether EADS will continue to bid for the contract.
