Design studies began in 1951 but the project was cancelled in 1957 by the USAF. No prototype was built and the project did not get past the mock-up stage. The C-132 was to be powered by four 15,000 shp (11,000 kW) Pratt & Whitney XT57 (PT5) turboprops, mounted on a swept wing. An air refueling version, the XKC-132 was also proposed, but it would only have utilized the probe and drogue (P&D) air refueling system and that system, used primarily by the US Navy, did not find favor with the USAF. One XT57 was installed in the nose of a C-124 (AF serial number 52-1069) for testing.
