C-40C Jet Black Lithograph

C-40C Jet Black Lithograph Canvas Wrap on a floating frame by Squadron Posters!

The C-40 combines the Boeing 737-700 fuselage with the strengthened wings and landing gear of the larger and heavier 737-800. It also has auxiliary fuel tanks allowing an unrefueled range of up to 5,000 nautical miles compared with 3,010 nmi for the standard 737-700. First flight took place in April 2000 and the first of the C-40A aircraft entered service in April 2001. The U.S. Navy Reserve was the first customer for a 737 Next Generation based “combi” aircraft (capable of transporting cargo and passengers). The Clipper was ordered by the U.S. Navy to replace its fleet of aging C-9B Skytrain IIs. The C-40A is the first new logistics aircraft in 17 years to join the U.S. Navy Reserve. The Navy Reserve provides all of the Navy’s medium and heavy airlift capabilities. The Clipper meets or exceeds international noise and environmental requirements, which the fleet of Naval Reserve C-9s did not. It is also more fuel-efficient and offers increased range and payload capabilities. The Clipper is certified to operate in an all-passenger (121 passengers), all-cargo or combination configuration that can accommodate up to three cargo pallets and 70 passengers on the main deck.
