	Cargo aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cargo aircraft is an airplane designed and used for the carriage of goods, rather than passengers.
		Although the earliest aircraft were not designed primarily as cargo carriers, by the mid 1920's airplane manufacturers were designing and building dedicated cargo aircraft.
		The earliest "true" cargo aircraft is arguably the World War II German design, the Arado Ar 232.

	Douglas C-133 Cargomaster
		A high-mounted wing, external blister fairings on each side for the landing gear, and rear-loading and side-loading doors ensured that access to, and the volume of, the large cargo compartment were not compromised by these structures.
		The cargo compartment (90 feet in length and 12 feet high) was pressurized, heated, and ventilated.
		Cargo was loaded via a two-section rear door assembly, the lower section formed a ramp for drive-on/drive-off capability, or by a cargo door on the port side of the forward fuselage.

	Future Cargo Aircraft (FCA)
		The Army’s objective for fixed—wing aircraft modernization is to reduce the fleet to five standard platforms for short—range (C—12), medium—range (UC—35), and long—range (C—20) utility aircraft, Future Cargo Aircraft (FCA), and Aerial Common Sensor as the objective special electronic mission aircraft (SEMA) platform.
		The Army issued a draft RFP for the aircraft in August 2005.
		An aircraft with the capability that the Air Force is talking about with Light Cargo Aircraft could get in and out of places with 2500 or 3000 feet and you can do that on a routine basis because it offers many more options.

	Air Force, Army to purchase small cargo aircraft
		The Army has been calling it a "Future Cargo Aircraft," while the Air Force calls it a "Light Cargo Aircraft." But ultimately, those names will be gone in favor of "Joint Cargo Aircraft." And it won't just be the name that is the same.
		Most likely, the aircraft will be a variant of an aircraft already available in the civilian sector, and the manufacturer will modify it for military use.
		But the aircraft is often too large for some aircraft movements today in support of the global war on terrorism.

		And Boeing moved its main headquarters to Chicago, away from its commercial aircraft manufacturing plants in Seattle, signaling to some that the company was shifting its priorities away from civil airplanes.
		Boeing says the cargo version of the 777 will have a longer range than any other freighter, capable of flying 4,970 nautical miles with a full payload, and provide more capacity than any other twin-engine freighter, with room for 27 standard pallets on the main deck.
		On the cargo front, that has meant the development of new versions of the 747 freighter, pushing 747 conversions and the launch of the 777 freighter.
