On January 25, Airbus announced the launch of the extra -large cargo transport service "Airbus Beluga Transport".As the name suggests, it is used by Airbus's extra -large cargo transport machine, Beluga.[Photo] UH-60 black hawk housed in C-17A.By making the two aircraft different in different directions, the space is used without waste.There is no problem in installing it because it is a light cargo for bulk: Large -sized Boeing 787 aircraft structural materials are used to air transport Boeing 787 aircraft from Japan to the United States.I wrote an article about the transport machine "747LCF Dream Lifter".Transportation is the central torso, the central wing, and the left and right wings.Of course, it can be carried by ship, which takes time, which can be affected by the weather and marine situation in the meantime.There is a reasonable reason to have a dedicated transport aircraft (although it is a modified used 747) to take the cost of air transport.However, in the mainland of the United States, there are cases in which the 737 series of 737 series manufactured by Spirit Aero Systems in Wichita, Kansas is transported to Rentton, Washington on a railway.However, this is what can be done because it is a single passage with a small diameter of the fuselage.It is impossible with a wide body machine.The circumstances around that are the same for Airbus.Originally, the production base is scattered in the UK, France, Germany, etc., as it was originally established in the form of an aircraft manufacturer in European countries.The members manufactured in various places must be brought into the final assembly bases in French Tooles.That's why I also rely on air transportation.The A300-based extra-large cargo transport aircraft (SUPER TRANSPORTER), commonly known as Beluga.The concept is the same as the dream lifter, and the upper half of the fuselage is cut out, and it is re -created to a larger, larger aircraft structure.The A300, A330, and A340 maintained the same diameter torso, so Beluga was enough.However, with the A350, the policy change in the planned halfway uses a torso with a larger diameter than before.From the perspective of such circumstances and efficiency improvement, the work of manufacturing a larger Beluga XL on A330 is progressing.In Beluga, only one A350 wing can be installed, but in Beluga XL, two sheets can be installed.The conventional Beluga will be used, even if the Beluga XL comes out.However, there is still enough time to fly, so you can keep flying.Therefore, the maximum width 7.1m, height 6.Taking advantage of the size of the 7m cargo room, we decided to sell services that undertake oversized cargo transportation for fields such as the universe, energy, national defense, aerial, marine, and humanitarian support.In fact, there is a precedent for this, and Beluga has been airwriting for the painting of Dora Crois' Freedom to Japan for nearly a half century ago.Recently, in December 2021, the H225 helicopter for the Metropolitan Police Department was airloaded to Kobe Airport.Apart from the extent, there is a need.Both Beluga and Dream Lifter are not eligible for pressure, so if you do not press pressure, you will not be able to carry bad cargo.Two restrictions, space and weight.Although it is not limited to airplanes, there are two constraints of "space" and "weight" when transporting freight.In the case of an airplane, the difference between the weight of the aircraft and the maximum takeoff weight is shared by fuel and cargo.In most cases, it does not fly because it exceeds the maximum takeoff weight if it is full of fuel and loading.Therefore, there are times when "long -distance flights are loaded with a lot of fuel, and the load is reduced by that much", or "short -distance flights are reduced and packed with cargo".However, even if the upper limit is determined by the weight base, depending on the content of the cargo, the in -flight cargo -mounted space may not be used.Conversely, if it is a bulky but not heavy cargo, the in -flight space will be used full, but there will be room in weight.And the structural materials of aircraft that Dream Lifters and Beluga usually carry are the latter.Conversely, in extreme cases, coal, other ore, cereals, and oil are heavy for bulk.Moreover, the unit price is relatively low, and it is not necessary to carry it in a hurry.Then, it is not worth the expensive transportation means of airload.Even if it takes time, it is limited to carrying a large amount by boat.A while ago, there was news that we would urgently air transport from the United States to a french fries sold at a hamburger store.It is a transportation method that is not worth any of us, but due to the effects of COVID-19, the shipping industry is in various ways, and if you do not take it in a hurry, the customer will be numb.One of the U.S. military helicopters, which is said to be "expensive, but to carry quickly".In situations such as exercises and overseas expansion, there are many cases where the rotor blade is removed or folded, and carried on a transport aircraft such as C-5 and C-17.Of course, if you have enough time, it's a ship.Speaking of which, when the Air Self -Defense Force's "Blue Impulse" went to the United States in 1997, he could not ferry on his own because the cruising range was not long and the air could not be refueled in the United States.At this time, I was doing a place to go to Nevada, but I'm sorry that I couldn't go due to circumstances.Quiet story rest.In Japan, a new tram for Hiroshima Electric Railway has been airlaced to Hiroshima Airport on an Antonov AN-124.It was March 1999.In the past, the U.S. Navy had a system in the past that could air transport (DSRV: DEEP SUBMERGENCE RESCUE VEHICLE) in C-5.In other words, the large transport aircraft "carries airplanes, finished airplanes, and cars, trains, ships and potatoes."What kind of customers will "Airbus Beluga Transport" acquire and carry?I want to pay attention.Author Profile A technical writer who has been developing books centered on technical fields in various transportation and military fields such as Takashi
