The Lockheed C - 5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft originally 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 outsize and oversize loads, including all air - certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller Lockheed C - 141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later Boeing C - 17 Globemaster III. The C - 5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
