The United States Air Force currently maintains the largest military transport aircraft in its inventory, which is the Lockheed Martin C-5M Super Galaxy. The C-5M, which was initially introduced during the 1960s, represents an enhanced iteration that boasts improved capabilities and performance.

Transporting enormous and bulky loads, including helicopters, tanks, and other heavy equipment, it has a payload capacity of over 130 metric tons. The C-5M’s capability to transport oversized cargo directly into operational theaters constitutes a critical component of the rapid deployment strategy and worldwide reach of the United States military.
