Developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in the 1980s and 1990s for the United States Air Force, the C-17 Globemaster III was engineered to replace aging C-141 Starlifter airframes while fulfilling both strategic airlift and tactical drop missions. Capable of carrying heavy armored vehicles (such as the M1 Abrams tank), helicopters, and troops directly into short, unpaved airfields worldwide, the C-17 became the backbone of global military logistics, humanitarian disaster relief, and medical evacuation operations.
