Freighter Reference Guide

An electronic Adobe PDF format guide produced by the Boeing Corporation that provides general information on freighter aircraft (including non-Boeing aircraft) that are currently in service throughout the world. The "Freighter Aircraft Specifications and Capabilities" section separates freighter aircraft into five categories based on each type's maximum payload capability. Within each category, aircraft are arranged alphabetically by manufacturer, and in turn, by ascending model variants. The payload-range information shown is based on typical international freighter mission rules, nominal performance (i.e., no degradation for age or OEW growth), zero winds, sea-level takeoff and ISA conditions. The Guide can be downloaded from many sites, including the International Air Cargo Association's site at www.tiaca.org/cm/G2/I138/S8.
