C-5 Galaxy Weighs 375,000 lbs When Empty
43. When empty, Lockheed’s biggest military aircraft weighs 375,000 lbs. that is a little under half of the fully loaded weight that it can handle, which means it can carry more than 100% of its weight. There are not too many vehicles than can accomplish that task. Most vehicles payloads are less than the vehicles weight, which means these engines are extremely strong.
