The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin.It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo.
The An-225's main landing gear The nose gear of the An-225 Unlike the An-124, the An-225 was not intended for tactical airlifting and was not designed for short-field operations . [ 3 ] Accordingly, the An-225 does not have a rear cargo door or ramp, as are present on the An-124, these features having been eliminated in order to save weight.

At 222 feet across, almost 300 feet in length, and 65 feet above the ground, Lockheed Martin's C-5 Galaxy is the largest transport aircraft in the US Air Force.. With a cargo hull 121 feet long ...
The main one measures 3,602 by 46 metres (11,819 ft × 151 ft), capable of handling large military aircraft, including the Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy. The second runway measures 2,953 by 26 metres (9,687 ft × 85 ft). [1] The air base also has at least three large hangars, a control tower, numerous support buildings, and various housing areas.
The largest aircraft of any type to regularly visit ABQ is the C-5 Galaxy. In 1974, and again from 1982 through 1992, the Sunport had scheduled Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1011s. The largest aircraft to have ever visited the Sunport is the Antonov An-124, of which some have landed at ABQ on a couple of extremely rare occasions.
Anhedral angles are also seen on aircraft with a high mounted wing, such as the very large Antonov An-124 and Lockheed C-5 Galaxy cargo aircraft. In such designs, the high mounted wing is above the aircraft's center of gravity which confers extra dihedral effect due to the pendulum effect (also called the keel effect ) and so additional ...
