The Boeing YC-14 is a twinjet short take-off and landing (STOL) tactical military transport aircraft.
It was Boeing’s entrant into the United States Air Force’s Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition, which aimed to replace the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as the USAF’s standard STOL tactical transport.
Although both the YC-14 and the competing McDonnell Douglas YC-15 were successful, neither aircraft entered production.
The AMST project was ended in 1979 and replaced by the C-X program.
