Hi Onan
I know its complicated thats why I want to know if theres something out there before I set about it.
Unfortunately the firm I work for does not have a standard package size, the commercial pressure is to get the biggest bit onto the smallest aircraft each time. (Will it bend being one of the first questions!!!)
I'm from the old school of making a scale model of the hold and door then scale model of the piece and seeing if it will fit. But seems to me that there must be loads of people doing the same thing all over the world, it so time consuming, surely its been computerised by now.
Have previously seen graphics programs where the box moves in and out of the hold but want to bring it down to math.
If you can input the known ie door size, distance from back wall floor and profile the top there should be a way to calculate the turning point on the roller mat for anything with a given length, height and width.
Am not interested in the weight of the item for this. Having the ground kit to move stuff is not a problem.
cheers
