C-5 Galaxy History:
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is one of the largest aircraft in the world. It can carry oversize cargo intercontinental ranges and can takeoff or land in relatively short distances. Ground crews can load and off load the C-5 simultaneously at the front and rear cargo openings. The C-5 Galaxy can takeoff fully loaded within 8,300 feet (2,530 m) and land within 4,900 feet (1,493 m).
The C-5 has four TF39 turbofan engines rated at 43,000 lbf (191 kN) thrust each. They weigh 7,900 pounds (3,555 kg) each and have an air intake diameter of more than 8.5 feet (2.6 m). Each engine pod is nearly 27 feet (8.2 m) long. The Galaxy has 12 internal wing tanks with a total capacity of 51,150 US gallons (194,370 L) of fuel -- enough to fill 6 1/2 regular size US railroad tank cars. A full fuel load weighs 332,500 pounds (150,820 kg). A C-5 with a cargo load of 270,000 pounds (122,000 kg) can fly 2,150 nautical miles (4,000 km), offload, and fly to a second base 500 nautical miles (900 km) away from the original destination -- all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, the aircraft's range is limited only by crew endurance.
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since 1969 and is one of the largest military aircraft in the world.
