ABSTRACT:
A freight feeder aircraft and method of transporting containerized cargo using the same includes a cargo container access door opening located at the fore portion of the aircraft fuselage and dimensioned to accommodate standardized cargo containers such as LD-3 containers. A load bearing cargo access ramp is located at the aft portion of the fuselage and opens downwardly to provide a ramp for unloading cargo containers to the ground. The interior of the fuselage includes an elongated, unobstructed cargo compartment which is configured to accommodate a number of standardized cargo containers. Substantially simultaneous loading and unloading of cargo containers is achieved to thereby substantially reduce the time required for cargo on-load and off-load between aircraft landing and subsequent takeoff.
