C-17 Globemaster III Banking in Flight
On Aug. 28, 1981, the Air Force contracted with McDonnell Douglas to build the C-17 Globemaster III, which first flew Sept. 15, 1991. the C-17's externally blown flap system, which allowed it to operate from almost any airfield in the world, was tested on the YC-15 STOL aircraft, which first flew in 1975 but had been placed in storage. In 1996, under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (DRDA) between the Air Force and McDonnell Douglas Corp., the two YC-15 prototypes were given a new role as advanced technology demonstration aircraft for systems and technologies to be used on the Globemaster III and other military and civilian aircraft.
