- With a price tag of about $340 million, the C-17 Globemaster III is one of the most in-demand cargo planes in the world. It can transport troops and cargo as well as aid in the evacuation of people in weather-ravaged or war-torn areas. In August 2021, the C-17 was used to evacuate thousands of people from Afghanistan during the Taliban occupation. Insider got an exclusive look at the plane to find out how this giant aircraft is able to perform its unique missions.

That young Staff Sgt at the end of the video, with his positive and motivated attitude, is the heartbeat of our military services. God bless him and all of our troops!
Because it has large capacity & is much more reliable than C-5 Galaxy! The end!

Look up a C5 Galaxy. Those are some of the largest military cargo planes in the world. You can stuff all the cargo from three C17's in a C5 and sprinkle a couple C130's and a couple school buses to take up the empty space. I think it can handle something obnoxious like 60 more tons over a C17.
As an Indian i would really thank the manufacturer of this aircraft and the US!!! The supportive capabilities of this aircraft r just unreal to say the least..
From the hellish 2nd wave to the rapid evacuations of indian nationals from Afghanistan, the c17s have been an integral part of indian operations in tackling each of these challenges.

@@eduwino151 you missed the point. It's a joke. The resolution of screen doesn't indicate the quality of the actual technology. These screens are different in a way where these can operated in different situations where normal screens might not work plus anti glare plus capacitive touch so that it can be used with gloves etc etc .
gets manhandled, proceeds to final resort "its a joke bro"
You're honestly correct though. C17'S were designed in the late 60's and most of the fleet was built in the 70's and 80's. Not that it says too much seeing as though the SR71 was designed in 1956-1958 and built in the 60's and 70's.
Funilly enought thats the upgraded version. The original displays were CRT, the new ones shown here are LCD's (When I was in 2 years ago there were still some with the CRT displays as they still worked fairly well). Also hilarious the laptop you see in the loadmaster area at @1:58 still runs on windows XP (And that is a recent upgrade from Windows 98)

The post title is ridiculouus. RIP C-17. But good presentation, Loadmasters are so important. When it goes wrong your have National Airlines 102. Serious business.
5:13 sounds a little weird that winglets reducing drag helps in landing.
Yes, I don't think it's really correct. I have heard a KC-135 pilot talking about flying with winglets, and he said takeoffs and landings were easier. He said it's because the wings produce slightly more lift with the winglets since you don't have wingtip vortices. That allows for slightly lower stall speed (change of less than 5 knots), but also noticeably improves low speed handling (maybe because of cleaner airflow over ailerons but I'm not sure)
@@thomasknox9922
For what I understand, winglets reduces drag by reducing/eliminating wingtip vortices and thus improving overall fuel economy.
It's rubbish, winglets have the most effect on cruise performance and the effect on landing performance would be so small that even Boeing would not bother to calculate it.
My dumb self: what if they airdropped bombs directly to the enemy?
And thats how yo get shot down, also they dont have a weapons officer or bombbay like the b1 lancer or the b2

not a successor, but a complement to the C-130. the C-17 is designed for strategic airlift where the C-130 is much more tactical.

Why is the outboard ailerons considered a feature?
Older heavy aircraft didn’t have it. Look at the c130 and c5
@@bobchan6079 I agree but, I wouldn't put the C130 in that mix as it's a prop plane versus turboprop and has a totally different mission base. It also can out maneuver an F16 and take off/land in just about any situation. The C130 is quite an impressive plane and ungodly old. LOL.
@@llspragulus the c130 IS a turboprop, you’re probably thinking of turbofans. Also there is absolutely no way the c130 could outmaneuver an f16, maybe if you’re talking about turning radius or something
@@llspragulus I would look at the 17 as an evolution of the Hercules. One of the most used and abused, reliable planes ever built
I couldn't tell if these replies here were addressing your question. If you were referring to that upturned fin-like winglet at the end of the wing, I heard that it was a recent (relatively) addition to modern aircraft's wings which extend range and performance and maneuverability. The wingtip vortices, or swirling air (drag), is greatly reduced.
4:26 anyone gonna talk about how it’s rigged for landing in that shot?
When they were new they were only 220-230 million
Reflective belt essential for enabling operations
Awesome plane. Clearly not designed by Boeing as it seems to be a solid and reliable workhouse.
Boeing only manufactured it. The original design was done by McDonnell Douglas before they became a part of Boeing.
Imagine if the C-5 Galaxy assisted in the evacuation efforts. She's a beauty.
The C-5 participated in Operation Stork at the end of the Vietnam war, air lifting 1000 babies and children
The C-5 would break and leave the crew/aircraft stuck in Afghanistan. In addition, they would take too much space on the tiny airfield.
the C-5 is too unreliable. but you said to imagine it, so i’ll at least do that.
I am glad I subscribed
I love this plane..
I hope to become a C17 pilot one day!
Work hard and you will make it.Hoping I could once I am finished with my flight degree.
One time I was on one. And was drinking with my buddies. We had a lot of turbulence. A few of us hacked all over the place. The load master and crew chief and 2 star General were not happy 😆 BTW. The pilot needs a tape test…
2:22 exactly 💯

Great video. I was just outside my grocery store one day and this aircraft went by. Low. I thought it was a C-5 at first. It swung around and flew just by me to my left. Very low. Very slow. How does that thing stay up? Awesome. It was a CC-117. C-17 built for Canada.
India needed and would've purchased more of them if they didn't stop the production already. An engineering marvel ♥
India needed 10 more, but may be that was not enough to keep the production lines open.
Our Babu's were too slow
@@vedprabhudessai4989 India may be only developing country with this colonial civil service cadre intact. Instead of recruiting professionals do the job we are dependent on people who managed to pass exams.
@@divinewind6313 sadly true
If the Indian government (or other govermnents) made a timely contractual decision and ante'd up the necessary long lead monies, Boeing would have extended the production line and delivered more aircraft.
Boeing is not a government owned entity and must make a profit. Keeping a production line open when there are no orders is irresponsible and expensive folly.

"I couldn't get enough of it" - that is job success right there. nothing worse than a job you cannot stand.
I was a crew chief on C-141s back in the 70's, and then built C-17s for 30 years at Long Beach. we haven't called them "cockpits" for many years. When women started crewing them years ago, cockpit became inappropriate. Now they're called flight stations.
lol... crews call it a cockpit or flightdeck.
cockpit- nothing inappropriate about it. Political correctness is.
Maybe different in mx but we call it Flight Deck. Though, everyone knows what you're talking about if you say the other names, too.
C-141 was badass too.
What a load of crap. Cockpit came from the nautical term Coxswain. Has not a damn thing to do with gender. PC 'tards drive me crazy.

Huge cargo, rugged long range dependable.. did great job

But the C-17 can carry more load and its maximum speed and ceiling is higher than the C-141.
Might want to double check your math there sport, "nothing can touch the 141"? better go check that c-17 payload capability bud, it massively overshadows the c-141, they're basically entirely different size class.
@@sluflyer06 yeh ok larryloadbag we'll see how long reliable c17s be around in long run like c141 was workin azz in a real war.
I flew the C-141A & B models as a navigator. The A could hold 10 standard 463L pallets. The B could hold 13. The C-17 holds 18.
Both aircraft were designed/tested to fly at maximum altitude of 45,000 feet. Both flew (141)/fly (17) at a usual 0.74 Mach at most cruise altitudes.

Its a pity to stop the production of this aircraft..... Must have stayed by upgrading to modern technologies....
I mean u got the C-5s to handle larger cargos and fly further. As for operational or tactical airlift, there are enough C-17s and C-130s to do the jobs.
The C-17 can carry more passengers than an Airbus A-380, and in considerably less comfort!
Well...a 380 can carry 853 in all economy configuration and therotically can carry much more in much lesser comfort had the cargo version was built.

Truly, State of the Art.
Honestly, it sucks that many don’t know that the military conduct many humanitarian works all over the globe. Proud to support our troops
That's true. Many people don't know that the US military conducts countless humanitarian missions around the world, 2004 Indian ocean tsunami (operation unified assistance), 2005 Kashmir earthquake, 2009 Indonesia tsunami, 2010 Haiti earthquake (operation unified response), 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami (operation tomodachi) and so much more.
These C17s are true beasts.
Got to fly in one when I was at Ft. Bragg, big ass bird!
Never liked flying on the C17. Always preferred the C5 Galaxy. Now that was a HUMONGOUS and comfy riding plane with good pilots. Hated the side wall jump seats on those. That's where the 17 beat the 5. Much better seats in the cargo hold. However, both were leaps and bounds better than the C-130. Always found myself in and jumping from those mostly. Bleh. So a 17 or the 5 were like tour buses versus the 130 which is like riding the over packed buses in rural India.
The Globemaster is part of our fleet since 2013 in the Indian Air Force. It's squadron Is named as "Sky Lords" and its moto is

So far it seems there currently is no plan in the US to develop a replacement. The C-130 is now the only military transport in production in the US and that can only carry 20 tons.
C-141 lasted about 40yrs. and certainly didn’t cost $340m.
C-17 has a long way to go to live up to what the C-141 accomplished.
