McDonnell Douglas
C-17 Globemaster III model airplane
The first prototype for the C-17 was flown for the first time on September 15, 1991. When the price per plane escalated to $294 million from the original target price of $125 million, the requirement was reduced from 210 planes to 120 planes. The C-17 is configured similarly to the Galaxy and the StarLifter, and about the same size as the latter. With a 3-man flight deck crew, the C-17A can carry up to 102 paratroopers, while the main hold can accommodate AH-64 helicopters, M1 Abrams main battle tanks, or five-ton expanding vehicles. Access is via the hydraulically-powered rear ramp stressed to take loads of up to 40,000 pounds. The C-17 has a maximum cruising speed at low altitude of 403 mph, cruising speed at altitude of Mach 0.77, and ferry range on internal fuel of 5,412 miles. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand. Model
