Which aircraft is the C-17 Globemaster?

• A. C5 Galaxy
• B. E-3A Sentry
• C. C-17 Globemaster
• D. B2 Spirit

Answer: (C)

Recognizing aircraft designations and roles helps you quickly match a name to the aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster is a specific four-engine, high-wing military transport used for strategic and tactical airlift, with a distinctive T-tail and a large cargo capacity for troops, equipment, and even medical evacuations. When asked which aircraft is the C-17 Globemaster, the correct choice is the one that is named the C-17 Globemaster, because the designation identifies the model itself. The other options refer to different airplanes—a larger transport with a different configuration, an airborne warning and control aircraft with a radar dome, and a stealth bomber—each with its own distinct role and design.
