The C-17 Globemaster iii is a large cargo aircraft, designed for strategic airlift and troop transport, along with various other roles. It was developed in the 1980s and early 1990s, and today is widely used in countries across the world, such as Canada, Britain, Australia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India, and its origin country, the United States.
The capabilities of the C-17 Globemaster are unique to other aircraft, because of its ability to land on short amounts of runway. This is thanks to the four Pratt & Whitney F-117-PW-100 turbofan engines, which can direct engine exhaust air upwards and forwards, slowing the aircraft in less runway space than regular aircraft.
Its maximum payload weight is over 170 000 pounds, and can carry many different kinds of payloads, such as tanks, supply packages, medical aid, and even helicopters.
In the world today, there are over 250 in use today, and that number is expected to grow, with international interest, and commercial interest growing.
(Oh, also, I do take requests for aircraft, if theres something you want to see)
