Boeing C-17 Globemaster III
The C-17 Globemaster III is one of the most powerful military planes ever built. The Globemaster III was first delivered in 1991 and continued to be produced until 2015 when it was phased out. McDonnell Douglas designed the aircraft, which cost around $218 million per unit. It was used for strategic and tactical airlift missions, which frequently included heavy machinery or people airdrops and immediate medical evacuations.

Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
Let’s start with the Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI, one of the largest wooden planes built in the early 1900s during World War I. It was a four-engined strategic bomber built in Germany with one of the first closed-cockpit cockpits ever seen in a military aircraft. Only six of the 18 made it through the war, as four were shot down, six were destroyed in crashes, and two were grounded due to technical issues.
