The C-141 Starlifter, manufactured by the Lockheed
Georgia Company, is a long-range, high-speed, high
altitude, swept-wing 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. The aircraft has in-flight refueling capability.
