CARGO
The two cargo hatches are a distinctive structural feature. The fuselage nose
can be hinged upward to open the front cargo hatch and there is a rear cargo hatch in
the rear fuselage to speed up the cargo loading and unloading operation.
The on-board system of cargo handling equipment makes it possible to load
and unload the aircraft without the help of ground facilities. The paradropping and
cargo-handling equipment comprise two travelling cranes, two winches, rollgang and
tiedown equipment. The aircraft is often compared to the US Lockheed Martin C-5
Galaxy. The An-124 has a transportation capability 25% higher than that of the C-5A
and 10% higher than the C-5B.
WORLD RECORDS
Since 1989, An-124 airplanes have been making charter freight flights on the
international airlines and the aircraft has set 30 world records, the most significant of
which are: 171,219kg cargo was lifted to 10,750m altitude in 1985; a 20,161km
closed route was flown in 25.5hrs in 1987; and an average speed of 689.1km/hr was
achieved in a round-the-world flight over the South and North Poles in 1990.
BOEING 747-400F FOUR-JET INTERCONTINENTAL FREIGHTER, USA
The Boeing 747-400F Freighter is the all-cargo transport variant of the Boeing
747-400 family of aircraft. Boeing has stated that there are about 260 747 freighters
in operational service, carrying about half of the world's freighter air cargo. The 747
family of freighters make up two thirds of the world's wide-body freighter fleet.
Boeing was received the first order for the 747-400 Freighter in 1989, from
Cargolux Airlines International, based in Luxembourg. In April 2004, Cargolux
placed an order for its 14th 747-400 freighter. Cargolux has reported that the freight-
ers are operated on average over 16 block-hours per day.
Over 100 747-400F have been ordered and more than 60 are currently in ser-
vice with air cargo companies worldwide. Orders include: Asiana Airlines (six), Atlas
Air (16), Cargolux Airlines (14), Cathay Pacific (six), China Airlines (21), China
Cargo Airlines (two), China Southern (two), EVA Air (three), GE Capital (five),
Guggenheim Aviation (six), ILFC (four), Japan Airlines (two), KLM (three), Korean
Air (17), Nippon Cargo Aircraft (eight), Singapore Airlines (17) and UPS (eight).
