epa02125439 (FILE) An undated handout file picture provided by US company Northrop Grumman shows an aerial view of KC-30 tanker during the refuelling process of a B2-bomber in an undisclosed location. European defense contractor (EADS) said on 20 April 2010 that will make its own bid for the US Air Force's long-delayed 35 billion US dollar contract to build a fleet of new refueling jets. EADS is challenging Boeing Co., a US company, for the right to build 179 new planes for the Air Force. EADS' one-time US partner, Northrop Grumman Corporation, dropped out earlier this year after saying the Pentagon project unfairly favored Boeing.  EPA/NORTHROP GRUMMAN / HANDOUT  EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
