Boeing 747 AAC: The Military Version Of The 747

Boeing considered an “airborne aircraft carrier“ for up to 10 “microfighters“ with the ability to launch, retrieve, re-arm, and refuel. Boeing believed that the scheme would be able to deliver a flexible and fast, carrier platform with global reach, particularly where other bases were not available. Modified versions of the 747-200 and Lockheed C-5A were considered as the base aircraft. The concept, which included a complementary 747 AWACS version with two reconnaissance “microfighters“, was considered technically feasible in 1973.
