Its capacity to load several tanks is very impressive and I also find it interesting to study how the engines of these planes work. I think I'll go take a look at this, honestly it looks like something I'd like to learn from.

Here is the pallet rails of the C-17 aircraft. There are two locks on each side of pallet. You can see one by the letters AD. There are also two lips that go over the top of pallet on both sides. You can see the lip to the left of the ratchet part of the cargo straps
Hey thank you very much for the photo! It's really amazing. The carabiner seems to be made of bronze. The floor has a special carpet or texture, I would like to know what it is made of, is it some kind of polyurethane or something?
Sorry if I overwhelm you with so many questions, answer when you have time, there is no rush.
Floor is aluminum alloy. The floor has sand paper strips though out the length of floor.
oh that's great, thank you very much, I guess that helps to have a very strong grip on the ground when wearing military boots. It is ideal for being able to move while on the move or for combat tasks.
Thanks for answering my friend.
Yes mostly for grip to not fall on your tushy. Some sand paper tape is worn they, replace them every so often. Not sure on how often though. The picture above was taken today we had a two pallet download. It took us about 15 minutes, easy work. Only 3 of us worked it.
