Lockheed C5-A Galaxy: Cargo Dimensions
Steven Abbott
From Steven Abbott <Steven...@mindlink.bc.ca>
I need any information anybody can give me on the Cargo dimensions
of the Galaxy transport.
I know the information is in the 1989-90 Jane's All the World's
Aircraft on p. 443 but My copy from that year was destroyed in a fire.
Basicaly I'm looking for the interior dimensions of the Cargo bay.
Specifically hight and width. All help is appreciated.
Thanks

but these numbers are from Jane's Am, erican Fighting Aircraft of
the 20th Cnetury, pg. 200-102 201.
Accori f ding to Jane's, , the lower(cargo) deck is: has
the following dimensions. :
Length, with ramp: 144 ft 7 in
Length w/o re amp: 1221 1 ft 1 in
Width: 19 ft 0 in
Height: 13 ft 6 in
Floor area: wo/o /o ramp: 2300.9 sq ft

I hope this helps. What are planning on doing ? with all ofthis
this information? I have the other dimensions if needed.

Interesting factoid. . .
The cargo hold of the C-5 is longer than the entire first flight of the
Wright Brothers' plane at Kitty Hawk.
Cool, huh?

So is the wingspan of every version of B747.

Sure is something to think about.
Next time someone talks about all the problems that some `product' is
having in its early tests, remind him of this.

Yeah. I went to an airshow at Stewart AFB in upstate NY a few
yrs ago. They fly the C5A out of Stewart, and as you walked through the
aircraft, as you entered, there was a placard that said something like:
"Imagine that the Wright Brother's plane from Kitty Hawk left the ground
here." Well before you exited the ship, you found another placard that
gave the specs on the ship, and ended with something like, "And by
the way, the Wright brother's aircraft would have touched down here."

Another one: the unusable dead space in the tail of a C-5A is larger
than the entire cargo volume of a C-130.
BTW, I got that from the Air & Space article about the C-5 a few years
back. I assume the original post about the fuselage being longer than the
Wright brothers' first flight came from there too.
