The LockheedC-5M Super Galaxy is the largest military transport aircraft in the United States Air Force, although not the largest in the world. That title goes to the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, afterthe destruction of the world’s only An-225 Mriya in 2022. It is also smaller than the Airbus A380 and most Boeing 747 civil airliners. However, as a military aircraft, it is able to ‘kneel,’ conduct aerial refueling, and perform short take-offs.
