Military tanker aircrafts are being increasingly produced by conversion of civil airliners. Civil and military aircrafts are designed to different philosophies and operated in different ways, the civil operation being predictable, the military less so. These different philosophies are discussed, as well as the problems arising from typical aircraft conversions. It is also suggested how future conversions can benefit from the lessons of the past.
