With its 160,000-pound payload, the C-17 can take off from a 7,600-foot airfield, fly 2,400 nautical miles and land on a small, austere airfield in 3,000 feet or less. On the ground, a fully loaded aircraft, using engine reversers, can back up a 2 percent slope. During normal testing, C-17s set 22 world records, including payload to altitude time-to-climb and the short takeoff and landing mark, in which the C-17 took off in less than 1,400 feet, carried a payload of 44,000 pounds to altitude and landed in less than 1,400 feet. Deployed in June 1993, it won the Collier Trophy in 1994, symbolizing the top aeronautical achievement of 1994.BI25386 (c174861)Maximum size:1800px × 810px (~4 MB)6.0in × 2.7in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1990s-abundance-airplanes-black-blur-C-17 Globemaster III-cargo handling-cargo rollers-close-ups-detail views-grid patterns-jets-military-monoplanes-out of production-payload bays-payload systems-perspective lines-photos-repetition-selective focus-transports-yellowRelated Photo/Videos:View All
