The purpose of this Graduate Research Project is to evaluate the current primary aircraft utilized for oceanic palletized cargo movement for the United States Air Force. The United States Air Force is the primary cargo hauler for the entire United States Department of Defense. This paper will first evaluate the current aircraft used for palletized cargo movement, the Boeing C-17A Globemaster III.
