C-17 Globemaster III
by AvgeekJoe
All my C-17 Globemaster III photos over the years... one awesome and athletic cargo jet.
With a wingspan of 169 feet 10 inches or 51.75 meters to winglet tips, a height to the top of the tail of 55 feet 1 inch or 16.79 meters, a 174 foot or 53 meter length - this is one big cargo jet. The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III also has four engines - each Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engine capable of 40,440 pounds of thrust per engine.
The C-17 is capable of carrying 169,000 pounds of cargo with a cruise speed of approximately 450 knots. With aerial refueling, the range is truly unlimited.
