The C-5 is one of the largest aircraft in the world.
It can carry outsize and oversize cargo
intercontinental ranges and can take off
or land in relatively short distances.
Ground crews can load and off load the C-5
simultaneously at the front and rear cargo
openings. Other features of the C-5 are: Able
to take off fully loaded within 8,300 feet
(2,530 meters) and land within 4,900 feet
(1,493 meters). High flotation landing gear
with 28 wheels sharing the weight.
Nose and aft doors that open the full width
and height of the cargo compartment to
permit faster and easier loading. A "kneeling"
landing gear system that permits lowering
of the parked aircraft so the cargo floor is at
truck-bed height or to facilitate vehicle loading
and unloading. Full width drive-on ramps at
each end for loading double rows of vehicles.
A system that records and analyzes information
and detects malfunctions in more than 800
test points. The C-5 is similar in appearance
to its smaller sister transport, the C-141
Starlifter, although the C-5 is much larger.
Both aircraft have the distinctive high T-tail,
25-degree wing sweep, and four turbofan
engines mounted on pylons beneath the wings.
The Galaxy carries nearly all of the Army's
combat equipment, including such bulky items
as its 74-ton mobile scissors bridge, from the
United States to any theater of combat
on the globe.
The Galaxy has 12 internal wing tanks with
a total capacity of 51,150 gallons (194,370 liters)
of fuel -- enough to fill 6 1/2 regular size
railroad tank cars. A full fuel load weighs
332,500 pounds (150,820 kilograms).
A C-5 with a cargo load of 270,000 pounds
(122,472 kilograms) can fly 2,150 nautical miles,
offload, and fly to a second base 500 nautical
miles away from the original destination -all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling,
the aircraft's range is limited only
by crew endurance.
