How long of a runway does a C 17 need?

#shorts #usmilitary #usairforce

The C 17 measures 174 feet long (53 meters) with a wingspan of 169 feet, 10 inches (51.75 meters).
The design of the aircraft allows it to operate through small, austere airfields. The C 17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,500 feet (1,064 meters) and only 90 feet wide (27.4 meters). Even on such narrow runways, the C 17 can turn around using a three-point star turn and its backing capability
