The Boeing C-17 Globemaster 3D Model
The C-17 Globemaster III is a strategic airlifter manufactured by The manufacturer, and operated by the United States Air Force and the Royal Air Force. It was also ordered for 2006 delivery by the Royal Australian Air Force, and the Canadian Forces and Royal Danish Air Force also have plans to acquire the airlifter. In the 1970s, USAF began looking for a replacement for the C-130 Hercules tactical airlifter. The Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition was held, with The manufacturer proposing the YC-14, and McDonnell Douglas proposing the YC-15. Despite both entrants exceeding specified requirements, the AMST competition was cancelled before a winner had been selected. By the early -1980's, the USAF found itself with a very large, but aging fleet of C-141 Starlifters. Some of the C-141s had major structural problems as a result of heavy use. Compounding matters, USAF historically never possessed sufficient strategic airlift capabilities to fulfill its airlift requirements. In response, McDonnell Douglas elected to develop the YC-15 as the basis for a new aircraft. This aircraft, by then designated the C-17A Globemaster III, was ordered in August 1981. The new aircraft differed in having swept wings, increased size, and more powerful engines. This would allow it to perform all work performed by the C-141, but to also fulfill some of the duties of the C-5 Galaxy, so that the C-5 fleet would be freed up for larger cargo Duties...
