With the C-133B, the rear cargo doors were modified to open to the side (petal doors), making ICBM loading much easier. Air transporting the ballistic missiles such as the Atlas, [4] Titan and Minuteman was much less expensive, safer and faster than road transport.

C-133 “货运霸王”（Casrgomaster）是麦克唐纳·道格拉斯公司 1956年和1961年之间为美国空军建造的一种大型货运飞机。 它是美国空军唯一的涡轮螺旋桨动力战略运输机，被广泛地应用于各种空运服务。

On February 6, 1970, a C-133B left Travis to deliver a Vietnam-scarred CH-47 Chinook to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. After cruising at 21,000 feet and with clearance granted for a climb to 23,000 ...

The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster is a large turboprop military transport aircraft produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1956 to 1961. It was primarily designed to be in service with the United States Air Force and it was the sole production strategic airlifter powered by turboprop engines of the USAF.

The C-133 was the USAF's only production turboprop-powered strategic airlifter, entering service shortly after Lockheed's better known C-130 Hercules, which was known as a tactical airlifter. It provided airlift services in a wide range of applications, being …

The C-133 was the first U.S. Air Force transport to use turbo-prop engines. The Cargomaster was designed to carry complete intercontinental ballistic missiles in addition to other large cargos. Later C-133Bs were built with clam-shell rear loading doors that allowed the Titan missile to be carried in one piece rather than disassembled and more ...

The C-133 had large tail doors and side doors and a large, open cargo area. With the C-133B, the rear cargo doors were modified to open to the side (petal doors), making an opening large enough to transport ballistic missiles such as the Atlas, Titan …

Conceived as an air transport for America’s large missiles, the C-133 was designed to meet the requirements for the USAF’s Logistic Carrier Support System. The C-133 Cargomaster was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company and first flown on 23 April 1956. It was the largest turboprop transport ever to be accepted by the U.S. Air Force.

2025年3月12日 · Douglas found that with a few modifications, the C-133 could carry the modern Atlas missile. Thus was born the C-133B, which was essentially the smallest airplane that could fit around the Atlas. The B model had more powerful engines, and had a clam-shell door on the back rather than a split-ramp door.
