ABSTRACT:
An airplane features one basic airframe capable of carrying passengers or cargo such as intermodal containers or vehicles. It consists of a basic structure containing the cockpit, wings, engines and empennage. The cockpit and empennage portions are connected by an open, flat section (similar to a flatbed truck) on which the payload is placed. The payload thus forms and constitutes the fuselage shape and may be comprised of a passenger pod, cargo containers or outsized and vehicular equipment. Loading and unloading of such payloads is facilitated by a removable forward section to permit front end access and by laterally disposed vertical tails for aft end access.
