Military Transport Aircraft
1.The Antonov An-8
The Antonov An-8 is a twin-engined military transport aircraft by the Soviet design bureau
OKB Antonov (today Antonov ASTC, Ukraine). The Antonov An-8 (NATO reporting name: Camp) is
a Soviet-designed twin-turboprop-engine high-wing light military transport aircraft. Serving in the
Soviet Air Force until the 1970s on front-line military duties, many were later transferred to Aeroflot
for use as freighters and a few aircraft have been observed flying in Africa, particularly Liberia and
Angola, despite Antonov having withdrawn the airworthiness certificate and support for the type in
2004, ending legal use of the aircraft.
In December 1951 OKB-153 initiated the design of a twin-engined assault transport aircraft,
to be powered by two Kuznetsov TV-2 turboprop engines, and fitted with a large rear cargo door to
allow vehicles to be driven straight into the hold. The resulting aircraft followed state of the art
practice with a high wing carrying two propeller engines sat atop a rectangular section fuselage,
tricycle undercarriage, with main gear units housed in pods either side of the fuselage, an upswept rear
fuselage providing clearance of the tail unit for loading and unloading. After State acceptance trials
production was not recommended due to poor spinning characteristics, directional stability and control
issues, nosewheel shimmy, poor controllability when landing in crosswinds above 6 m/s (12 kt) and,
last but not least, phugoid oscillations in all-three axes which were difficult to control and made
piloting the prototype very tiring.

2. Boeing 367 C-97 Stratofreighter
Long-range military transport aircraft
The Boeing 367 C-97 Stratofreighter is a four-engine long-range military transport and aerial
tanker aircraft produced by the US-American manufacturer Boeing Company. The Boeing C-97
Stratofreighter was a long range heavy military cargo aircraft based on the B-29 bomber. Design work
began in 1942, with the prototype's first flight in 1944, and the production aircraft entering service in
1947. Between 1947 and 1958, 888 C-97s in several variants were built - 816 of them KC-97 tankers.
C-97s served in the Berlin Airlift, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Some aircraft served as flying command posts for the Strategic Air Command, while others
were modified for use in Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadrons (ARRS).The Boeing C-97
Stratofreighter was developed towards the end of World War II by fitting an enlarged upper fuselage
onto a lower fuselage and wings which were essentially the same as the B-50 Super fortress with the
tail, wing, and engine layout being nearly identical. It was built before the death of Boeing president,
Philip G. Johnson. It can be easily distinguished from the 377 Stratocruiser airliners by the radar
"beak" radome beneath the nose, and by the flying boom and jets on later tanker models.
C-97s evacuated casualties during the Korean War. C-97s also participated in the airlift of
relief materials to Uli airstrip (Biafra) during the Nigerian Civil War. Flying under the cover of
darkness and at tree-level to evade radar, at least two C-97s were lost. The USAF Strategic Air
Command operated C-97 Stratofreighters from 1949 through 1978.

3. C-74 Globe master I

Heavy Transport Aircraft
The Douglas C-74 Globe master I is a four-engine heavy military transport aircraft produced
by the US-American manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company in service with the United States Air
Force (USAF).The Douglas C-74 Globemaster was a United States heavy-lift cargo aircraft built by
the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California.
Immediately after the United States became engaged in World War II, and particularly as a
consequence of that nation's initial involvement against Japanese forces in the Pacific, it was clear that
transport aircraft would be of vital importance. Because of the theatre of operations envisaged, such
aircraft would require both long range and great load-carrying capability, and in early 1942 Douglas
began development of an aircraft to meet this requirement.
Designated Douglas C-74 Globemaster I, the first example of which 50 had been ordered by
the US Army Air Force did not fly until 5 September 1945. It was a cantilever low-wing monoplane of
all-metal construction, with a conventional tail unit, retractable tricycle landing gear with twin wheels
on each unit, and power provided by four wing-mounted 2237kW Pratt & Whitney R-4360-27 radial
engines. The C-74's large-capacity fuselage provided accommodation for the crew and 125 troops, or
115 stretchers with medical attendants, or up to 21840kg of cargo.

4. C-124 Globe master II
Heavy Transport Aircraft
The Douglas C-124 Globe master II is a four-engine heavy military transport aircraft produced
by the US-American manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company . The C-124 was the primary heavy-lift
transport for United States Air Force Military Air Transport Service (MATS) during the 1950s and
early 1960s until the C-141 Starlifter entered service. It served in MATS, later Military Airlift
Command(MAC), gained units of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard until 1974.
As a cargo hauler, it could carry tanks, guns, trucks and other heavy equipment, while in its
passenger-carrying role it could carry 200 fully equipped troops on its double decks or 127 litter
patients and their attendants. It was the only aircraft of its time capable of transporting heavy
equipment such as tanks and bulldozers without prior disassembly.
The C-124 first flew on 27 November 1949, with the C-124A being delivered from May, 1950.
The C-124C was next, featuring more powerful engines, and an APS-42 weather radar fitted in a
"thimble"-like structure on the nose. Wingtip-mounted combustion heaters were added to heat the
cabin, and enable wing and tail surface de-icing. The C-124As were later equipped with these
improvements.
The C-124 was operational during the Korean War, and was also used to assist supply
operations for Operation Deep Freeze in Antarctica. They performed heavy lift cargo operations for
the US military worldwide, including flights to Southeast Asia, Africa and elsewhere. From 1959 to
1961 they transported Thor missiles across the Atlantic to England. The C-124 was also used
extensively during the Vietnam War transporting material from the U.S. to Vietnam.

The C-130 is also used as a gunship, for electronic warfare, search- and rescue, fire fighting, aerial
refuelling, maritime patrol and weather reconnaissance.
Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally
designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found
uses in a variety of other roles, including as agunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and
rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial
firefighting.
It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants
of the Hercules serve with more than 60 nations. The Hercules holds the record for the largest and
heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi
Freedom), the C-130 Hercules has been used operationally by Australia, the UK and the United States.
After the initial invasion, C-130 operators as part of the Multinational force in Iraq used their C-130s
to support their forces in Iraq.

10. C-17 Globe master III
Heavy Military Transport Aircraft
The McDonnell Douglas / Boeing C-17 Globe master III is a heavy four-engined military transport
aircraft with a maximum payload of 77.519 kg (170.900 lbs) produced by the US-American
manufacturer Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas).
Following the Vietnam War, the US Air Force realized the inadequacies of its heavy-lift transport fleet
and issued a requirement for a new design. While intended to supplement and eventually replace the
C-141 Star Lifter, this new C-17 transport would need to combine the heavy load-lifting capability of
the C-5 Galaxy with the ability of the C-130 Hercules to land close behind the front lines on rough.
C-17 is used for rapid strategic airlift of troops and cargo to main operating bases or forward
operating bases throughout the world; it can also perform tactical airlift, medical evacuation and
airdrop missions. The C-17 carries the name of two previous U.S. military cargo aircraft, the C-74
Globe master and the C-124 Globemaster II.The aircraft requires a crew of three (pilot, co-pilot, and
loadmaster) for cargo operations. Cargo is loaded through a large aft door that accommodates rolling
stock, such as the 70-ton M1 Abrams tank, other armored vehicles, trucks, trailers, etc., along with
palletized cargo. The cargo compartment is 88 feet (26.82 m) long by 18 feet (5.49 m) wide by 12 feet
4 inches (3.76 m) high. The cargo floor has rollers for palletized cargo that can be flipped to provide a
flat floor suitable for rolling stock.
The C-17 is designed to operate from runways as short as 3,500 ft (1,064 m) and as narrow as 90 ft (27
m). In addition, the C-17 can operate from unpaved, unimproved runways (although with greater
chance of damage to the aircraft). The thrust reversers can be used to back the aircraft and reverse
direction on narrow taxiways using a three- (or more) point turn.

11. C-133 Cargo master

The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster is a four-engine heavy military transport aircraft produced by the
US-American manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company .
A high-mounted wing, external blister fairings on each side for the landing gear, and rear-loading and
side-loading doors ensured that access to, and the volume of, the large cargo compartment were not
compromised by these structures. The cargo compartment (90 ft/27 m in length and 12 ft/3.7 m high)
was pressurized, heated, and ventilated.
The C-133 was for many years the only USAF aircraft capable of hauling very large or very heavy
cargo. By 1971, shortly before the introduction of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, the Cargomaster was
obsolete as well as being worn out, and all were withdrawn from service in 1971. The C-133 was
originally a 10,000-hour airframe that had been life-extended to 19,000 hours. Severe vibration had
caused critical stress corrosion of the airframes to the point that the aircraft was beyond economical
operation any longer.

14. Avro York
The Avro York was a British transport aircraft that was derived from the Second World War
Lancaster heavy bomber, and used in both military and airliner roles between 1943 and 1964. Avro
type 685, development began in 1941. The design paired a new "squared-off" fuselage with the wings,
tail and undercarriage of the Lancaster bomber. Production was undertaken by Avro with the hopes of
sales to the Royal Air Force and in the post war civil airliner market.
The prototype, LV626, was assembled by Avro's experimental flight department at

Manchester's Ring way Airport and first flew there on 5 July 1942. It had initially been fitted with the
twin fins and rudders of the Lancaster but the increased fuselage side area forward of the wing
compared to the Lancaster necessitated fitting a third central fin to retain adequate control and
directional stability. Initial assembly and testing of production Yorks mainly for the RAF, was at
Ringway, later Yeadon (Leeds) and Woodford (Cheshire).

15. Antonov An-22
Heavy Cargo Freighter
The Antonov An-22 is a heavy four-engine turboprop long-range transport aircraft by the
Soviet design bureau OKB Antonov (today Antonov ASTC, Ukraine).
Antonov designed the An-22 Antheus (named for the giant son of Greek god Poseidon) to carry
the Soviet Army's mightiest fighting vehicles, including main battle tanks and missile launchers. Its
NK-12 turboprops, which also power the Tu-95/Tu-142 "Bear" family of Russian bombers and
maritime patrol aircraft, are the most powerful turboprop engines in service.
NATO reporting name Cock, the An-22 is a very large, long-range heavy transport. It flew for
the first time in February 1965, at which time it was the largest transport aircraft in the world.
Deliveries to both the Soviet Air Force and Aeroflot were completed during 1974, with the military air
transport force (VTA) receiving between 30 and 50 aircraft. The An-22 is used widely in the
underdeveloped areas of the northern USSR, Siberia and the Far East. Accommodation is for a crew of
five or six, 28-29 passengers in the cabin and freight. Maximum payload is 80 000kg.
In October 1967 an An-22 established 14 payload-to-height records. With a payload of
100,000kg of metal blocks it reached a height of 7,848m, thereby qualifying also for the intermediate
records from 35,000kg. Max payload lifted to a height of 2,000m was 104,444.6kg. A take-off run of
just over one kilometre was reported; the flight duration was 78 minutes.
