Dear Community,
As there was no Simbrief profile for the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III yet, I decided to make one myself, matching the real world values. The profile is based on the Boeing 747-8F, as it has almost the same cruising speed and fuel burn, as the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, but I of course adapted it, to match the real plane.
I increased the Fuel Factor up to P30 (30 % more than the Boeing 747-8F).
Changelog:
- I changed the name from Boeing 747-8F to C-17 Globemaster III
- I adapted the weights to match real world performance values and adjusted the fuel burn
- I added the engine type PW2040
- I changed the cruising altitude to FL450, which is the maximum ceiling of the C-17 Globemaster III
- I changed the Minimum Runway length to 3500 ft

Note: This version is based on the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III by the United Kingdom - Royal Air Force (RAF). Other variants/operators may have different performance values.
@SimBrief May you please add it to the Simbrief database?
Regards,
