With two engines lost, the C-17's crew knew their bird's days were numbered. But the mission was critical – they had to get one special operator behind enemy lines, no matter the cost... Problem Statement: A military transport aircraft with two failed engines needs to deploy a special forces team behind enemy lines, approximately 1,000 km away. Challenges: 1. Aircraft is severely underpowered with only 2 working engines. 2. Payload capacity and range are greatly reduced. 3. Attempting a normal take-off and flight is extremely high-risk. Objective: Find a solution to successfully insert the special forces team, even if it means sacrificing the aircraft, while minimizing risks to the maximum extent possible.
