An old cargo transport aircraft, the moss, staining, and streaks of dirt down its hull made some very interesting patterns. \n\nThe aircraft obviously had some military usage in its history, whether it carried troops, supplies, vehicles, or a combination of everything I don't know. The proboscis on the nose of the aircraft is for refuelling midflight, so it could fly extreme distances so long as tanker aircraft were available to refuel from.\n\nIt is a monolithic piece of engineering, and only standing on the floor under its wingspan do you get a real impression of how big these cargo planes now are, they're a feat of design and engineering, even when obsolete and left abandoned outdoors.
Beja Airport, Portugal: sonar buoys chutes - sonobuoys are used in anti-submarine warfare and submarine rescue - there are two main types, active buoys send out sonar pulses, which reflect off of the submarine, and the return is datal inked back to the aircraft, passive buoys listen for any radiated noise from the submarine contact -  hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment are below the water surface, the buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft - Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft, a military derivative of the Lockheed L-188 Electra.

Adjustable exhaust nozzle with partly expanded diffusers - a variable area nozzle is required in a jet engine for optimal expansion and adjusting back pressure in the engine when the afterburner is operated, it avoids compressor surge problems due to the increased back pressure on the engine when the afterburner is lit - engines capable of supersonic flight have convergent-divergent exhaust duct features to generate supersonic flow - GE F110 afterburning turbofan jet engine on F-16 fighters - empennage close-up of exhaust and elevator.

A unique perspective from beneath a C-17 Globemaster III, focusing on the 'USAF' lettering and featuring a downward-angled aileron. The photograph captures the intricate details of the aircraft's engineering while highlighting its affiliation with the United States Air Force.
Lisbon, Portugal: Ram Air Turbine (RAT)  is a small propellor that will deploy in a serious emergency to supply emergency backup electrical power to the aircraft. Usually this happens after all main engines and the APU (auxiliary power unit) fail. Behind the two-blade propeller a hydraulic pump can be seen, besides power, the RAT provides emergency hydraulic pressure. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft. It may be also called an air driven generator (ADG) -
