What might have been:
The C-132 was proposed in two versions. One would have been a straight logistics carrier, and the other would have served as an aerial refueler. The tanker version was to have detachable tip pods with hose reels for probe and drogue refueling, plus auxiliary internal tanks in the cargo compartment. The probe-and-drogue system didn't sit well with the USAF, and in the end the C-132 progressed no further than a full-scale mockup and inflight testing of the 15,000 shp Pratt & Whitney YT57 turboprop engine mounted in the nose of a modified C-124. |
