Tall Rigid cargo
On the Boeing 747 family of freighters load planners and Loadmasters would be familiar with the concept of planning for "Tall Rigid" cargo, although I see many Carriers do not strictly apply this rule.
My question is, what other aircraft types apply the same or similar rule, and how does the rule vary from the 747 concept? |
Looks like for other a/c all such cargo will be Rigid Cargo ;)

Refresh my memory please!
We may have called it something else in my day |
Looks like Electra / P-3 wing and engines (both engines have gear doors....?)
I would bet (oh yea? how much?) photoshop.......... := I've been wrong before though.......... |

Boeing Super Guppy to Seattle
Brought the NASA space shuttle trainer to Boeing Museum of Flight - June 30
For current pictures see: Super Guppy, with space-shuttle trainer on board, touches down at Boeing Field | Local News | The Seattle Times Weather could affect Super Guppy event | Local News | The Seattle Times |
My first flight was on a B.O.A.C. Stratocruiser. 35 years later had the option of chartering a SuperGuppy to transport a DC10 wing to body fairing....problems were getting over the Rockies and 3 days to get to YYZ....went for DC8-63F instead.
