Turbine Traveller(@Turbinetraveler):This is how the C-17 Globemaster III can descend from 30,000 feet to 5,000 feet in less than two minutes. This tactical descent profile allows the aircraft to remain at higher altitudes for as long as possible before making a rapid, steep descent into its destination. By doing so, the C-17 minimizes the time it spends within enemy air defense and missile engagement ranges, enhancing survivability in hostile environments. 📹: Raj 360
