Le Lockheed C-5 Galaxy è un grande aereo da trasporto militare originariamente progettato e costruito dalla Lockheed, e ora mantenuto e aggiornato dal suo successore, Lockheed Martin. Fornisce alla United States Air Force (USAF) una pesante capacità di trasporto aereo strategico intercontinentale, in grado di trasportare carichi fuori misura e sovradimensionati, compresi tutti i carichi certificabili dall'aria. Il Galaxy ha molte somiglianze con il suo predecessore più piccolo Lockheed C-141 Starlifter e il successivo Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. Il C-5 è tra i più grandi aerei militari del mondo.

Per saperne di più:

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized cargo, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller predecessor, the C-141 Starlifter, and the later C-17 Globemaster III. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 has a distinctive high-wing design with 25 degrees of wing sweep and four turbofan engines mounted on pylons beneath the wings. The C-5 also features a nose cargo door and a rear cargo door/ramp that can both be opened in flight for aerial delivery of paratroopers or cargo. The C-5 has a voluminous cargo compartment that can accommodate up to 36 pallets or a variety of vehicles, tanks, helicopters, or other large items. The C-5 can carry a maximum payload of 122 tons (110 metric tons) or a maximum takeoff weight of 381 tons (345 metric tons).
The C-5 entered service with the USAF in 1970 and has been upgraded and modernized several times since then. The current version, the C-5M Super Galaxy, features new engines, avionics, and reliability improvements that extend its service life and enhance its performance. The C-5M can fly faster, farther, and higher than any previous C-5 model. The C-5M also has the highest cargo capacity of any airlifter in the world. The C-5M is expected to remain in service until at least 2040.
