The WT-25 Stratolifter is one of the largest transport aircraft in the entire world. Its development process stretched from 2001 trough 2003, and was designed in order to fulfill very large transport operations of all kinds of military equipment during wartime. However, it has yet to see full use of its capabilities, given the fact Wingarde has never been involved in any major military conflict.
Transporting more than four times the WT-19 Skymaster's capacity, the Stratolifter can deliver huge amounts of equipment anywhere in the world and even faster than its smaller predecessor, due to its powerful six G-TC-83A engines. Due to the lack of armament installed onboard, the WT-25 is a vulnerable and fairly easy target, so it should never be without escort in wartime.
