It first flew in 1947. By that time, the B-50 bomber had been launched, and the YC-97's design incorporated elements of the B-50 rather than the B-29 which had been its counterpoint for the XC-97. The YC-97 had a taller vertical tail, greater fuel capacity, and improved engines compared to the original XC-97 prototype.BI228135 (p6356)Maximum size:5100px × 3950px (~57 MB)17.0in × 13.1in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-adults-airplanes-buildings-C-97 Stratofreighter (Model 367)-cargo pallets-day-factories-factory workers-female-ground shots-historic production status-interiors-male-manufacturing-military-monoplanes-occupations and work-passenger cabins-payload systems-perspective lines-photos-Plant II-propeller planes-prototypes-rear views-several/groups-stairs, lifts and ladders-structural systems-symmetry-three-quarter length views-transports-vintage / retro-XC-97 Stratofreighter-YC-97Related Photo/Videos:View All
