After several days of testing, I've finally decided to release the C-17 as per request to build a STOCK cargo plane @rkarmark

C-17 Globemaster III

SPECS :

(Data based on a 1 hour flight @ 6.6-7.5 km)

773 km/h - 480 mph - invalid (Got this number using math, but 480 mph translates into 214 m/s which I can only reach in a dive =/)

12.8 km/min

2,872 L (758 gallons)

0.633245383 mpg

3,292.87599 miles range w/ 20,000 liters of fuel (Estimated)

300+ parts, takeoff speed ~50 m/s

can drop 50 ton loads no problem

Quite maneuverable for such a large craft.. <3

PICTURES!: I flew it with a rover to ascend the highest mountain on Kerbin, non-stop - - and back with a lot of errors and overshots

~side note - Could not upload all the pictures (?_?) Imgur kept giving me errors, sorry

Post your thoughts or suggestions, I've been a bit dry lately with the lack of them :L

This is honestly a nice creation, I personally like these shots picturing the Jumbo-64 deployment. It remembers me the BLU-82 drops.

On another hand with the lack of winglets plus its fine and long fuselage it makes me more think about a C-5M Galaxy than a Globemaster III.

Wuhuuuu!  Yes! You did it!! (very exited to try it out)

While my friend was watching me fly it, he said the same exact thing. Making the fuselage more cylindrical would mean more parts, and more lag for 'low-end' pcs. I tried to get the dimensions of the plane, angles and wing positions down as best i could, It's probably the best aircraft I've built if you ask me.

 

Winglets you say? details i missed? :0

Thank you so much! <3

I'll see what I can do for a part reduction.

Just a bit 

 

I remember as a kid in 95' when hurricane Luis struck us, a lot of help was deployed at Juliana airport, some US C-130H and French C-160D, one Ukrainian Il-78 was chattered by our telecommunications services to carry repair vehicles.  And as surprising, one of the C-17s prototypes also made a rotation here. At this time everybody was impressed by such a modern design.

Wow, after spendin 4 or so hours constructing the craft, i did not notice the winglets, will release a new version with them this afternoon as well as a Lockheed U-2 :]

 

 

New update; grounded for 2 weeks 4 days (got a bad grade in math, will get that fixed though)

As I like to say, you're never too old for a good smack. Alright, sorry for derailing your thread. I'll be going now.

As my grandfather once told me :

- "A trowel a week makes the son gentle and bring".

- "Even if everything went well?"

- "Yep, just give him one."

 

More seriously, sorry for you... have you think about a game copy on a hardrive you could plug at school?

My school has so many restrictions, and all of the computers are from the stone age, I don't know if they'd handle it well xD
