TOP 5 BIGGEST! transporting aircrafts in the world

Welcome to World and Top 5. Today we are talking about Top 5 Biggest Transporting Military Aircrafts in the World. Let's begin the video. Number 5.The A330. MRTT, Multi-Role Tanker Transport, built on the basis of the A330 commercial airliner, is a new generation aircraft from Airbus Military for military transport and air-to-air refueling missions. The MRTT has a maximum take-off weight of 233 ton, making it suitable for dedicated transport missions involving payloads weighing up to 45 ton. The maiden flight of A330 MRTT was held in June 2007, and 37 aircraft were operational with seven international air forces as of May 2019. The aircraft can be powered by two General Electric CF6-80E1A3, Rolls-Royce Trent 772B, or Pratt & Whitney PW4168A turbofans. The maximum cruise speed, TAS, and ferry range are 1,018 km per hour, Mach 0.86, and 14,800 km, 8,000 nmi, respectively. Number 4.C-17 Globemaster III. The C-17 Globemaster III is a high-wing, military transport aircraft developed by McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing, for the U.S. Air Force. It is capable of transporting heavy, oversized payloads and supplies, as well as troops to small airfields in remote areas day and night. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 265.3 t and payload capacity of 74,797 kg. The first C-17 aircraft was inducted into USAF service in January 1995. Boeing has delivered more than 259 C-17s to 36 export customers to date, the aircraft provided support during Operation Joint Endeavor and Allied Operation in Kosovo. The aircraft is fitted with four Pratt & Whitney PW2040 turbofan engines, which develop a thrust of 40, for 40 lbf, 180 knots, each to enable a cruise speed of 833.6 km per hour, 0.77 Mach. The maximum range with 18.1 t, 40,000 lb, payload is 10,390 km, 5,610 nmi, which can be increased with in-flight refueling. Number 3.The KC-10 Extender is a tanker and cargo aircraft in service with the US Air Force and the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 267.6 t, while its cargo and fuel load capacities are 77 t and 161 t, respectively. Designed primarily for aerial refueling, the aircraft can perform the missions of a tanker and cargo aircraft by refueling fighters and can simultaneously carry support personnel and equipment on overseas deployments. The KC-10 Extender is powered by three General Electric CF6-50C2 turbofan engines, which produce a thrust of 52,500 lb, 233.5 knots each. The power plant ensures a maximum speed of 996 km per hour and a range of 7,081 km with cargo and 18,507 km without cargo. Number 2.C-5M Super Galaxy. The C-5M Super Galaxy, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, is the biggest military transport aircraft used by the US Air Force, USAF. It is an improved version of the C-5 Galaxy strategic airlifter and can take off with a maximum weight of 381 t, including a payload of 129,274 kg. The C-5M can transport a typical load of six mine-resistant ambush-protected MRAP vehicles or five helicopters. The first C-5 Galaxy entered service with the USAF in 1970, while the C-5M was inducted in 2009. The 75.5-m-long, 19.8-meter-high C-5M allows for quick loading-slash-unloading from the front and rear simultaneously. The C-5M Super Galaxy can fly at a normal cruise speed of 518 mph 0.77 Mach for a maximum range of 7,000 nmi. The power plant comprises four GE CF80C2 turbofans, generating a thrust of 50,580 lb, 225 knots, each. Number 1.Antonov An-124 Version The An-124 version, NATO reporting name, Condor, developed by Antonov, is the world's biggest military transport aircraft thanks to its giant take-off weight of 392 t. The An-124-100 can carry a payload of 120 t and is capable of transporting heavy and oversized cargoes, as well as various combat vehicles. The first flight of the An-124 Ruslan was conducted in December 1982. The aircraft features a pressurized cargo compartment that is 20% larger than that of C-5 Galaxy. The front and rear cargo doors of the aircraft ensure rapid loading-slash-offloading of heavy cargoes with ease. The aircraft is powered by four Avchenko Progress D-18T turbofan engines, developing 229.85 knots thrust each. The multi-wheel landing gear of the An-124 ensures operations from unpaved runways. The aircraft has a cruise speed of 800 km per hour to 850 km per hour and a range of 7,500 km.
