Description

The C-17 Globemaster III is the U.S. Air Force's workhorse airlifter, a four-engine jet built to carry outsized cargo across oceans and put it down on short, unimproved runways. It can haul roughly 170,000 pounds, an M1 Abrams tank, or up to 102 fully equipped paratroopers, who exit through two side doors simultaneously during a combat jump. That combination of strategic reach and tactical delivery is what makes it central to how the U.S. military moves force anywhere in the world, fast.
