بوينگ سي-17 گلوبماستر III Boeing C-17 Globemaster III هي طائرة نقل عسكري كبيرة. وقد طـُوِّرت للقوات الجوية الأمريكية (USAF) من ع1980 إلى مطلع ع1990 من قِبل مكدنل دگلس. وتواصل الطائرة سي-17 حمل اسم طائرتي شحن عسكري سابقتين بمحرك مكبسي، Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. The C-17 commonly performs tactical and strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world; additional roles include الإخلاء الطبي and airdrop duties. It was designed to replace the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, and also fulfill some of the duties of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, freeing the C-5 fleet for outsize cargo.
بوينگ، التي اندمجت مع مكدنل دگلس في 1997، واصلت انتاج طائرات سي-17 لزبائن التصدير إثر انتهاء تسليم طلبات القوات الجوية الأمريكية. فبجانب الولايات المتحدة، فإن سي-17 مازالت تعمل في المملكة المتحدة، أستراليا، كندا، قطر، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، ناتوHeavy Airlift Wing, الهند، والكويت. آخر سي-17 تم بناؤها في مصنع لونگ بيتش، كاليفورنيا وأقلعت في 29 نوفمبر 2015.
التطوير
خلفية وطور التصميم
In the 1970s, the U.S. Air Force began looking for a replacement for its Lockheed C-130 Hercules tactical cargo aircraft. The Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition was held, with Boeing proposing the YC-14, and McDonnell Douglas proposing the YC-15. Though both entrants exceeded specified requirements, the AMST competition was canceled before a winner was selected. The Air Force started the C-X program in November 1979 to develop a larger AMST with longer range to augment its strategic airlift.

التنويعات
- C-17A: Initial military airlifter version.
- C-17A "ER": Unofficial name for C-17As with extended range due to the addition of the center wing tank. This upgrade was incorporated in production beginning in 2001 with Block 13 aircraft.
- C-17B: A proposed tactical airlifter version with double-slotted flaps, an additional main landing gear on the center fuselage, more powerful engines, and other systems for shorter landing and take-off distances. Boeing offered the C-17B to the U.S. military in 2007 for carrying the Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) vehicles and other equipment.
- MD-17: Proposed variant for civilian operators, later redesignated as BC-17 after 1997 merger.
