Pentagon reopens tanker contest; credit for size

By Andrea Shalal-Esa

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon reopened a $35 billion refueling aircraft competition between Boeing Co and Northrop Grumman Corp on Wednesday, with changes that Boeing supporters feared would favor the larger Northrop plane.

Congressional aides and others said some of the Pentagon's modifications, including measuring costs over 40 years instead of 25, appeared to favor Boeing's smaller 767-based tanker.

But other changes, like the Pentagon's decision to give "positive consideration" for greater fuel delivery, looked to give an edge to Northrop and its bigger tanker based on the Airbus A330, made by European subcontractor EADS.
