The system in detail
A high wing and T-tail provide clearance around the cargo compartment. The landing gear is intended for varied field conditions, with performance dependent on surface strength and payload.1
Its cargo floor distinguishes concentrated from distributed load limits. Seating, stretchers and pallets are alternative cabin arrangements; their headline capacities cannot all be carried together.1
The cited brochure supplies baseline planning figures. National equipment fits and the refuelling installation must be attached to the aircraft being compared.1
Jet cruise speed helps schedule analysis, but total delivery depends on load, fuel, runway and turnaround. Compare a defined payload–distance mission instead of maximum cargo against ferry range.1
