Description
The C-17B is simply a C-17s, modified with larger high bypass turbofans. The Turbofan placement has been moved to within the wing (for Coanda effect) to enable better STOL capablity. It is COFFIN equipped to lessen crew requirements and is capable of taking on many supporting roles.
The General Resource Defense Force deploy C-17B Globemaster IVs primarily as Transports (as seen below). The Universal Peace Enforcement Organization, UPEO, uses a Tanker variant of the C-17B, known as the EK-17B for refueling operations.
