C-17 Airlifter for India

India and the United States have begun talks here on the onboard equipment for the 10 Boeing C- 17 military transport aircraft, and the associated price structure.

United States Air Force (USAF) C-17 which had come to India for trials last month has met the IAF specs. The aircraft was tested in short and high altitude runways.

DOD/USA has set the maximum price at $5.8 b for the aircraft and standard systems loaded on the aircraft,but the actual price would depend upon what equipment and onboard options the IAF finally needs.

The US government will issue a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) after these discussions are finalized, indicating the equipment, services, and lifecycle support and their costs. There would be a 3.8 percent administrative fee that the US Government now charges on all FMS deals. (This fee varies periodically between 2.5 to 5 percent).


C-17 Globemaster-III, which India is seeking, can carry a maximum payload of 74,797 kilograms for 2,400 nautical miles without refueling and 45,495 kilograms for 4,000 nautical miles without refueling.
