C17 Globemaster Transport Aircraft at RAF Brize Norton
Royal Air Force C17 Globemaster transport aircraft are pictured in the early morning mist at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
The C-17 Globemaster III is capable of rapid, strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases anywhere in the world, or directly to more temporary forward operating bases owing to its short field capability. The design of the aircraft allows it to carry out high-angle, steep approaches at relatively slow speeds, thus allowing it to operate into small, austere airfields onto runways as short as 3, 500 feet long and only 90 feet wide.
The aircraft can operate into and out of problematic sites such as those surrounded by inhospitable terrain or made difficult by adverse weather conditions. The fully-integrated, electronic flight-deck and the advanced cargo-handling systems allow a basic crew of only two pilots and one air loadmaster to operate the aircraft.
On the ground, the aircraft can be turned in a very small radius and its four Pratt & Whitney engines are fully reversible, giving it the ability to manoeuvre into and out of restricted parking or freight-offload areas at undeveloped strips. This enables the C-17 to deliver cargo to small airfields with limited parking space in a shorter time, so increasing throughput where time on the ground is kept to a minimum.
The C-17 can transport 45, 360kgs of freight over 4, 500 nautical miles whilst flying at heights in excess of 30, 000 feet

As a Royal Air Force asset, this aircraft possesses remarkable capabilities that make it an indispensable asset for strategic troop and cargo delivery worldwide. The C-17 Globemaster III's design allows it to execute high-angle approaches at slow speeds, enabling it to operate in small airfields with limited space. Its short field capability grants access to temporary forward operating bases or sites surrounded by challenging terrain or adverse weather conditions. With its fully-integrated electronic flight deck and advanced cargo-handling systems, this aircraft can be operated by a minimal crew of two pilots and one air loadmaster. On the ground, its exceptional maneuverability and reversible engines enable it to navigate restricted parking areas effortlessly. Impressively, the C-17 can transport an astounding 45,360 kilograms of freight over 4,500 nautical miles while soaring above 30,000 feet.
