USAF C-5 C-5M Galaxy Military Transport Heavy Lift Cargo Jet Wood Wooden Model

Description

This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of the C-5 Galaxy complete with display stand. This is our newest version and release with much more accurate panel lines and features including an all wooden stand.
The C-5 Galaxy is one of the largest aircraft in the world and the largest airlifter in the Air Force inventory. The aircraft can carry a fully equipped combat-ready military unit to any point in the world on short notice and then provide the supplies required to help sustain the fighting force.
Features:
The C-5 has a greater capacity than any other airlifter. It has the ability to carry 36 standard pallets and 81 troops simultaneously. The Galaxy is also capable of carrying any of the Army's air-transportable combat equipment, including such bulky items as the 74-ton mobile scissors bridge. It can also carry outsize and oversize cargo over intercontinental ranges and can take off or land in relatively short distances. Ground crews are able to load and off-load the C-5 simultaneously at the front and rear cargo openings, reducing cargo transfer times. Other features of the C-5 are:
· Able to operate on runways 6,000 feet long (1,829 meters).
· Five landing gear totaling 28 wheels to distribute the weight.
· Nose and aft doors that open the full width and height of the cargo
compartment to permit faster and easier loading.
· A "kneeling" landing gear system that permits lowering the parked
aircraft to facilitate drive-on/drive-off vehicle loading and adjusts the
cargo floor to standard truck-bed height.
· Full width drive-on ramps at each end for loading double rows of
vehicles.
· A system that records and analyzes information and detects
malfunctions in more than 800 test points.
