Download or read book C 141 Starlifter written by John Gourley and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was a new-build design by Lockheed and proved adaptable to many roles, from carrying outsized cargo to dropping paratroops. The C-141 was used in regions as extreme as the heat and humidity of Vietnam, the deserts of the Middle East, and the frozen ice pack of Antarctica. Modification programs enabled the C-141 to make full use of its capabilities, by adding in-flight refueling plus extending the length of the fuselage. The plane was a valued and appreciated USAF asset in numerous missions, from disaster aid and humanitarian relief to doing their part in Operation Desert Shield/Storm, and in the war on terror. The aircraft were eventually retired enmasse simply as a result of wear and tear in 2006. This book covers in detail all aspects such as interior/exterior configurations, cargo capabilities, missions, and modifications made throughout its service life.
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.

Download or read book Navigating the C 124 Globemaster written by Billy D. Higgins and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The C-124 Globemaster--a U.S. military heavy-lift transport in service 1950 through 1974--barreling down a runway was an awesome sight. The aircraft's four 3800 hp piston engines (the largest ever mass-produced), mounted on its 174-foot wingspan, could carry a 69,000-pound payload of tanks, artillery or other cargo, or 200 fully equipped troops, at more than 300 mph. The flight crew, perched three stories above the landing gears in an unpressurized cockpit, relied, like Magellan, on celestial fixes to navigate over oceans. With a world-wide mission delivering troops and materials to such destinations as the Congo, Vietnam, Thule, Greenland and Antarctica, the Globemaster lived up to its name and was foundational to what Time magazine publisher Henry Luce termed the "American Century." Drawing on archives, Air Force bases, libraries and accident sites, and his own recollections as a navigator, the author details Cold War confrontations and consequent strategies that emerged after Douglas Aircraft Company delivered the first C-124A to the Military Air Transport Service in 1949.
Download or read book Wind Tunnel Studies of the Pressure Distribution and the Flow Field in the Wake of the Lockheed C 141A StarLifter Jet Transport Aircraft written by T. F. Goodrick and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind tunnel studies of a 1:56 scale non-powered model of the C-141A jet transport indicate the following characteristics of the flow field which affect the deployment of paratroops and cargo from the side doors and from the rear cargo ramp: downwash occurs across the side doors when the petal doors are closed, the flow beneath the side doors is inclined toward the centerline; and upwash occurs between and behind the petal doors when the doors are open 65 degrees. An analytic approximation of the effect of engine exhaust on the wake shows that the performance of a single parachute may not be significantly affected, but that of clustered extraction parachutes would be influenced by the engine slipstream.
