From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Outsize cargo is cargo defined by the United States Military as cargo which would exceed the cargo capabilities of the C-141B aircraft and would require a C-5 or C-17 aircraft to transport. Specificially, a piece of outsize cargo is a single item that exceeds 1,000 inches (25,4 m) in length, 117 inches (297 cm) in width, and 105 inches (267 cm) in height. A specific example of this cargo would include a United States M1 tank.
