C-5A/B Galaxy model airplane |
| The
C-5A was designed to complement the smaller C-141, with the requirement
that it could operate from the same airfields. Construction of the prototype
began in August, 1966, and flew for the first time on June 30, 1968. The
lower deck of the airplane has an unobstructed length of 121 ft. and a
width of 19 ft. To support the extraordinary loads that the aircraft is
capable of carrying, the landing gear has 28 wheels. There were a total
of 81 C-5As built. A major setback was suffered in the late 1970s by the
discovery of the early onset of wing structural fatigue, forcing the design
of a new wing. A new version of the airplane, the C-5B, was produced from
1985 to 1989, with a total of 50 aircraft being built. The C-5A is powered
by four 41,000-lb Allison thrust General Electric TF-39-GE-1 turbofans,
giving it an average cruising speed of 518 mph, and a range (with maximum
payload) of 3,749 miles. |
