The Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy is one of the largest aircraft ever constructed and the biggest tactical airlift platform in the US Air Force inventory. The colossal aircraft was designed to deliver everything from a main battle tank to a fighter jet from the continental US to forward-deployed troops all around the world. To achieve its colossal cargo capacity of 281,001 pounds (127,460 kg), the plane has 28 wheels in its landing gear system that spread the load over the surface of the runway to increase the number of fields that it can operate from without damaging the surface.
