Super's idea of incorporating the REVOLVER system into the C-17 plane to launch hypersonic-missile

The second largest aircraft in the US Air Force fleet, the C-17 Globemaster III, can now launch up to 12 hypersonic missiles continuously, thanks to the new REVOLVER Launch System.
The REVOLVER system is a game-changer for the military, features two sequentially installed drums and an advanced electromagnetic catapult mechanism.

Reminds me of the 1980 program "Cruise Missile Carrier Aircraft (CMCA)", hooking about 100 cruise missiles onto a 747-200 cargo airframe with all the seats and storage removed and nothing but the cruise missiles.

I worry about the effects of the slipstream and retrograde propulsion on weapon separation. If done the way demonstrated I could imagine the weapons tumbling. They still may need a small parachute to make things stable. Certainly cheaper with a small parachute than a fancy launcher. However the rotary mechanism is certainly interesting and could be used for other systems such as small diameter bombs or LRASM.

The C-17 can LAUNCH a MINUTEMAN ICBM out the back of it!

The Makeo Hyper Sonic Missile is out, and they need to bring back the production of the C17.✌

Essentially rapid dragon, but with hypersonic missiles. With both Rapid Dragon and Revolver, the U.S. has standoff weapon dominance, and potentially the ability to limit amphibious assault against China. PLA naval vessels may be blocked from proceeding further due to ships further ahead either destroyed or combat incapable.

It already hat that ability. This system and Rapid Dragon just allow for a much higher volume of fire since the Cargo Aircraft can joing the Bombers in the opening barrage allowing for huge amounts of damage to be done quickly. It basically makes any cargo aircraft into a temporary B-52 and considering the US has 100+ of these aircraft it will make the opening barrage absolutely devastating.

More than revolver there is an another idea which deploy more missiles in sky

True, but they will always have an escort service with them

and POOF - just like that every transport airplane is now designated as a BOMBER by the enemy.

Exactly! Increasing the threat envelope and making it more permissible for stealth aircraft to strike. You can only have so many priority targets before hundreds of C-17 with revolver / rapid dragon, hundreds of c-130 with rapid dragon, b-2s, b-1s, b-52s and or b21s slap you across the face with ordinance. The more strike capability, the harder it’ll be for near peer threats to counter each layer. Imagine fitting the C-5 galaxies with this thing… Jesus Christ.

i mean, the cargo planes already had the pallet system the rapid dragon
