description=The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is an aerial refueling military aircraft. It was US Air Force's the first jet powered refueling tanker and replaced the KC-97 Stratotanker. Similar in design to the later and enlarged Boeing 707 airliner, it was initially tasked to refuel strategic bombers, but was used extensively in the Vietnam war and later conflicts such as Desert Storm to extend the range and endurance of both Air Force and Navy tactical fighters and bombers.
Serving with the United States Air Force since 1957, it is one of very few military fixed wing aircraft with over 50 years of continuous service with the original service.
A modification program re-engined 500 aircraft with new CFM International CFM56 (military designation: F108) engines produced by General Electric and Snecma. The CFM-56 turbofans are capable of producing approximately 22,500 lbf of thrust, nearly a 100% increase in power compared to the original J-57 engines. The re-engined tanker, designated either the KC-135R or KC-135T, can offload up to 50% more fuel (on a long duration sortie), is 25% more fuel efficient, costs 25% less to operate and is 96% quieter than the KC-135A (sideline noise levels at takeoff were reduced from 126 to 99 decibels).
The KC-135R's operational range is 60% greater than the KC-135E for comparable fuel offloads, providing a wider range of basing options

//Extract from SDK
// Static Compression This is the distance a landing gear is compressed when the empty aircraft is at rest on the ground //feet). This term defines the strength of the strut, where a smaller number will increase the stiffness of the strut.
//Ratio of Maximum Compression to Static Compression Ratio of the max dynamic compression available in the strut to the //static //value. Can be useful in coordinating the compression of the strut when landing.
//Damping Ratio This ratio describes how well the ground reaction oscillations are damped. A value of 1.0 is //considered //critically damped, meaning there will be little or no osciallation. A damping ratio of 0.0 is considered undamped, //meaning that //the oscillations will continue with a constant magnitude. Negative values result in an unstable ground handling //situation, and //values greater than 1.0 might also cause instabilities by being over damped. Typical values range from 0.6 to 0.95.
