THE CHALLENGES OF TRANSPORTING SPECIAL LOADS IN MILITARY AND CIVIL AIRCRAFT¶
Abstract¶
Military and civil air logistic missions may require the transportation of special cargo, that is, items that cannot be restrained to military or civil pallets per the according specification and that were not conceived to support aircraft vibration and load factors associated with different flight phases. Odd-sized loads are a common example of special cargo that require alternative restriction methods for a safe transportation. The objective of this work is to present different aspects and requirements to be considered for the restraining and transportation of special loads in military and civil air logistic missions, supporting the decision-making to transport it based on the benefits and the risks of the operation, illustrated by incident examples associated with poor special cargo conditioning inside the aircraft.
