C-5M Super Galaxy: World’s Largest Military Jet Flies Without Win

The U.S. Air Force’s C-5M Super Galaxy, the world’s largest military transport aircraft, flies without winglets despite their common use in commercial aviation for fuel efficiency. Measuring 247 feet long and capable of carrying 180,000 pounds, the C-5M relies on its massive wingspan of 248 feet for aerodynamic efficiency instead. It can transport vehicles, troops, and cargo across 5,475 miles without refueling.
