AIR International  |  November 2012
Boeing’s C-17 Globemaster III airlifter is the main topic of this month’s 100-page issue. We cover the aircraft’s history, how Boeing builds the jet, the latest avionics and flight control systems, and Pratt & Whitney’s amazing F117 engine. Operational stuff is also covered with America’s Air Mobility Command and the Royal Air Force. Part two of this massive supplement follows next month.
But what about all the other stuff in the latest issue?
We have a charismatic Dakota from South Africa, the ridiculous reason for the latest upgrade of the deadly B-2 Spirit bomber, an eco-friendly Boeing 737, catapult-launched Airbuses, sneaky-beaky King Airs, Her Majesty’s Ship Ocean and its helicopters standing Olympic guard on the River Thames, a portrayal of Nigeria’s Air Force in re-generation, and American-built Israeli heavy metal aimed at Iran.
And there’s more. We have a bunch of the very latest news featuring the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and yet-to-be built KC-46 tanker amidst many other aircraft, helicopters and UAVs from around the globe.
