Guided tour around the ULTIMATE Hercules. The Boeing YC-14

Подробнее о видео

Join me in a walkaround tour of this unique Boeing YC-14 STOL transport aircraft on display at the Pima Air and Space museum in Tucson. This was meant to be the C-130 Hercules replacement.
This is one of only two prototypes ever made and it used a revolutionary engine placement design to potentially revolutionised STOL cargo plane design, but ultimately failed.
