Описание: #usarmy #paratrooper #aircraft #usairforce

The C-17 is designed to airdrop 102 paratroopers with their accompanying equipment. Maximum payload capacity of the C-17 is 170,900 pounds (77,519 kilograms), and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 585,000 pounds (265,352 kilograms).

How hard do paratroopers hit the ground?

Paratroopers usually land at a speed around 13 mph, resulting in a landing force that is comparable to jumping off of a 9-12 foot wall. 4 The PLF is used to spread the forces of impact across various parts of the body instead of a single part (such as ankles). This greatly reduces your risk of injury.
