The C-141A Starlifter, manufactured by the Lockheed-Georgia
Company, is a long-range, high-speed, high altitude,
sweptwing monoplane, designed for use as a
heavy logistic transport. The aircraft is designed to
airlift various types of combat support equipment,
personnel, air evac patients, and fully assembled
missiles. It also has an aerial delivery system
capability. The aircraft is equipped with a fully retractable
tricycle landing gear and a steerable nose
wheel. The landing gear consists of two "four-wheel
bogie" type main gears which mount dual wheels
forward and aft of the shock strut (in pods on each
side of the aircraft), and a steerable, dual nose wheel.
The aircraft is powered by four Pratt & Whitney
turbofan jet engines that are equipped with target-type
thrust reverser doors which are used to assist in
decelerating the aircraft on the ground. The aircraft
has an auxiliary power unit (APU), located in the
forward portion of the left wheel pod, which provides
electrical and pneumatic power for starting the
engines, and can be used to satisfy other electrical
and pneumatic requirements of the aircraft while the
aircraft is on the ground.
