Here's a movie-in-a-minute showing the Number One C-17 Globemaster III on the runway at Edwards AFB as the spoilers deploy along the top of the wing to kill lift. Then, a rush of cargo and parachutes and inevitable debris as Container Delivery System (CDS) bundles roar out of the back of the C-17 in flight. Finally, a concept test shows a dummy missile shape extracted from the C-17 in flight. The theory is this could be a way to place rockets at high altitude for air launch to orbit. These video clips were made during or before 2009. Have you subscribed to Airailimages on YouTube? Thanks! Airailimages provides a fresh mix of aviation and rail videos and films.
