| Two YC-15 prototypes were built for the Air Force's advanced medium STOL transport (AMST) program. The YC-15s were wide-body aircraft for service on short, undeveloped airfields. The prototypes made their first flights in 1975 and flew for three years before the test program ended.

| Don Beierwaltes, e-mail, 27.12.2010 22:06 I was at Pope AFB NC 75-77 and the YC15 and YC14 were having a competition to replace the C130. The YC14 was superior to the YC15, but the AF wanted the 4 engines and wanted the YC15 regardless of constant flap problems. The program was not funded, for the good! reply | | David Giron, e-mail, 15.10.2007 20:52 Very similar c17 reply | | Igor Francois, e-mail, 19.11.2006 14:18 youmight wanna get the units corrected regarding the wing area... it has to be in meters^s ... not meters. reply | | Admin, 19.11.2006 18:24 Thank you very much.
