2007 Boeing NC-135 is a modified version of the Boeing C-135 Stratolifter, a military transport aircraft derived from the Boeing 707. The NC-135 is used for various research and development missions, such as testing new sensors, radars, communications systems, and electronic warfare equipment. The NC-135 can also serve as an airborne command post or a flying laboratory for experiments in aerodynamics, propulsion, and flight control.
NC-135-l on kuni 25-liikmeline meeskond, sõltuvalt missioonist ja õhusõiduki konfiguratsioonist. Lennuk suudab kanda kuni 45,000 4,000 naela kasulikku koormust ja selle ulatus on üle 4,000 miili. NC-135 on varustatud nelja turboventilaatormootoriga, mis tagavad maksimaalse kiiruse 580 miili tunnis ja teeninduslae 50 000 jalga. NC-135 tiibade siruulatus on 130 jalga, pikkus 136 jalga ja kõrgus 42 jalga.
2007 NC-135 was first flown in 1961 and has been in service with the United States Air Force ever since. The NC-135 fleet consists of several variants, such as the EC-135N (electronic combat), the OC-135B (open skies treaty observation), the WC-135W (weather reconnaissance), and the E-8C Joint STARS (surveillance and target acquisition). The NC-135 is also used by NASA for various research projects, such as studying the effects of microgravity on human physiology and testing new technologies for space exploration.
