Each C-5M Super Galaxy will be powered by four GE CF6-80C2 engines, which requires a nacelle system and pylon.

The C-5M Super Galaxy is the only aircraft capable of carrying 100% of certified air-transportable cargo.

Goodrich previously received a contract from Lockheed to provide pylons and nacelles for three test aircraft as well as nine airplanes in the initial phases of the RERP.
