About Boeing C-97A
Boeing C-97A Aircraft; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter was a heavy-lift cargo aircraft. The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter was developed towards the end of World War II by fitting an enlarged upper fuselage onto a lower fuselage and wings which were essentially the same as the B-29 Superfortress. The prototype XC-97 was powered by the 2,200 hp (1,640 kW) Wright R-3350 engine, and even with this the performance was impressive — on January 11. 1945 the first prototype flew from Seattle to Washington, DC
in 6 hours 4 minutes, an average speed of 383 mph (616 km/h). For the
remaining models the powerplants were upgraded to the 3500 hp (2,610
kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major. The military transport had a useful payload of 35,000 lb (16 t) and
could carry two normal trucks or light tanks. Loading was by a
retractable ramp into doors in the bottom of the fuselage, which was
pressurised in flight. About 60 C-97 transports were built, but the design really flourished in the guise of the KC-97 Stratotanker flight-refuelling tanker. The USAF Strategic Air Command had C-97 Stratofreighters in service from 1949 through 1978. The civilian derivative Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was highly influential in the post-war development of long-distance civil aviation.
