Everything about Advanced Medium Stol Transport totally explained
The
Advanced Medium STOL Transport (
AMST) project was intended to replace the
Lockheed C-130 Hercules tactical transport in
USAF service.
The project was given go-ahead in
1970. The
Department of Defense submitted an
RFP in
1972. In
1973,
Boeing and
McDonnell-Douglas both received contracts to construct two prototypes, each. This resulted in the
YC-14 and
YC-15, respectively.
Both aircraft met or exceeded project specifications. However, the AMST project was cancelled before either aircraft could be selected. Ironically, the aircraft that the AMST was intended to replace, the C-130, is still in production today as the updated
C-130J Super Hercules. However, the YC-15 was enlarged and upgraded, and is now in production as the highly successful
C-17 Globemaster III.
