Book excerpt: Boeing's versatile C-17 Globemaster III combines strategic and tactical airlift into one wide-body aircraft capable of short takeoff and landing from unpaved fields. The giant, four-engine cargo jet has become more and more prominent in representing the US worldwide. Whether carrying the President, paratroopers, casualties, or vital materiel, or when performing airdrop or assault landings, the C-17 is the image of current aerospace technology and power projection. This richly illustrated, all-color, monograph highlights every aspect of the Globemaster design and mission execution through all theaters of US involvement in both wartime and peacetime. All US and foreign operators are discussed and portrayed in photographs. Combat operations, disaster relief, upgrades, and production are all described in word and image. This volume is a must for anyone interested in one of the very latest military aircraft that has made an essential contribution in recent conflicts and is looking forward to decades more of exciting service.

Download or read book Boeing C 17 Globemaster Iii Wbt written by Bill Norton and published by Specialty Press (MN). This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The C-17A's gestation is a fascinating study in the development and aquisition of US military aircraft. Combining the strategic and tactical airlift missions in one airframe with Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capability augmented with a fly-by-wire flight control system makes the C-17 an especially interesting transport aircraft. Its mission is varied and dynamic and its short service record to date has been one suggesting a long and noteworthy future. Readers will find this account of the Globemaster III's inception, development, unique features, and early service insightful and interesting. It is an auspicious point in the aircraft's history to detail this airlifter.

Download or read book American Military Transport Aircraft Since 1925 written by E.R. Johnson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without the support of airlift, the modern American military machine would be brought to a standstill. Since World War II--beginning with the Cold War and continuing up to the present day--the U.S. armed forces have come increasingly to rely upon airlift for mobility. The power to rapidly move and thereafter support a military operation--anywhere in the world, at any time--has become a foundational element of American defense policy. This work provides the reader with a comprehensive historical survey--including technical specifications, drawings, and photographs--of each type of fixed-wing aircraft used by U.S. military forces over a nearly 90-year period to carry out the airlift mission.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present project consists on the structural study of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III in order to create a 1:50 scale model. The main research that is developed will de ne the most important features that assemble the structural design of the mentioned aircraft. All these information will be focused on a CAD model that will both represent the structural techniques of Boeing's design and it will parallely be designed in order to create a wooden scale model. The main objective of this project is to be able to compile the enough information to end up with a deep study. This will describe functionality of the structural design so that logical reasoning can then be made to understand why this aircraft needs the issues investigated. A CAD representation will then be developed. It will be constructed in the 3D software SolidWorks with UPC's student license. The main parts of the aircraft will be drawn with the objetive and necessary techniques to export it and create a 1:50 scale model, which represents the main structural features of the aircraft. The CAD will then be exported. The necessary draws will be developed to then be transformed into pieces of wood. This draws will have the pecularity that they don't need dimensions or indications, but only the outline so that the automatic laser cut machine reads it without any problem. Once the pieces are ready, they will be put together to construct a 1:50 scale model using glue for wooden models and basic tools. To do that, the pieces will be placed together carefully adding the necessary components to reinforce whatever piece that doesn't have the eough strength to support itself or other pieces. Finally, a set of conclusions will be developed to understand how this project a ects the student's knowledge and how it can be improved, apart from other aspects.

Download or read book STOL Progenitors written by Bill Norton and published by AIAA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study presents the history and technical achievements in developing the Boeing C-17, the largest STOL transport aircraft. It examines STOL technology and predecessor aircraft, but focuses on the United States Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) program and its YC-14 and YC-15 demonstrators. The book describes every step of the process including the needs requirements, technological approaches, design and operation implications, proposals and winning designs, alterations, innovations, cost constraints, construction, and flight testing. STOL aircraft that flew before and after the C-17 are also discussed to illustrate the continuing evolution of the technology.
Download or read book Aircraft of The Royal Australian Air Force written by Air Force History Branch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft of The Royal Australian Air Force tells the story of the RAAF’s first one hundred years by describing the acquisition, operation, and service record of the multitude of aircraft types flown by the RAAF. The 176 aircraft types include the flimsy wood and canvas aircraft typical of World War I, through the technological advances during and after World War II, to modern fifth-generation, complex aircraft like the F-35 Lightning II. Even before its formation Sir Richard Williams, the Father of the RAAF, had decided to employ an alpha-numeric numbering system to identify and account for each aircraft in service. This system started with A1, A2, A3 etc as each type of aircraft came into service. Each individual aircraft within each series was identified as A1-1, A1-2 and so on and the aircraft serial became known colloquially as the ‘A-number’. With some exceptions over the century since the A-number system started, aircraft entered RAAF service in broadly the sequence of the A-numbers, and so this book is intended to assist in charting the 100-year history of the RAAF by listing aircraft operated in A-number sequence, rather than by listing them by role (such as Fighter, Bomber, Maritime, Trainer, Transport etc) or alphabetically by name or by manufacturer. The inclusion of a comprehensive Index and the Quick Reference Guide to aircraft by role is intended to facilitate the location of the entry for any specific type of aircraft for those who may not already know its A-number. Aircraft of The Royal Australian Air Force is a must have for all those who have served in the RAAF, those with a passion for military aviation and aircraft in general, and the broader members of the public wishing to gain an appreciation of the Royal Australian Air Force in its centenary year.
