Den Lockheed C-5 galax är ett stort militärt transportflygplan som ursprungligen designades och byggdes av Lockheed, och nu underhålls och uppgraderas av dess efterträdare, Lockheed Martin. Det ger USAF (United States Air Force) en tung strategisk luftlyftkapacitet med interkontinental räckvidd, en som kan utföra utsträckt och överdimensionerad last, inklusive all luftcertifierbar last. Galaxen har många likheter med sin mindre Lockheed C-141 Starlifter föregångare, och den senare Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. C-5 är bland de största militära flygplanen i världen.

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.
