In aeronautical chartering, Freight is currently at the centre of any team mobilisation.
\nIf our readers are accustomed to seeing the most beautiful civil aircraft and the most powerful jets on
\nour pages, we believe that they will find it of considerable interest to learn about these cargo aircraft,
\nwhose design and performance are anything but trivial given our passion.<\/p>\n
Today, we will talk about an aircraft that is mostly unknown to the public but which offers a summary
\nof what aeronautical engineers are capable of producing most efficiently; thanks to a fascinating
\nbalance between the current problems to be solved and the issues that we have to assess with
\nprecision.<\/p>\n
The aircraft manufacturer Airbus is featured here, with its A330-200 F (F for freighter, cargo). With
\n650 planes in service, the A330-200 F features 30% more volume than any other aircraft in its class.
\n3 terms describe its competitiveness: Reliability, Flexibility and Cost-effectiveness.
\nOperational reliability, when Airbus claims that it reaches 99.6% after flying 400 hours per month in
\nNovember 2016.
\nThis coupled with the instrument landing system (ILS) for radio navigation which offers a precision
\napproach to landings according to the authorized category III, especially in difficult weather
\nconditions.
\nProdigious flexibility thanks to a large modular freight capacity of up to 23 pallets or 26 containers,
\nallowing any modulation. Airlines can also opt for a combo version allowing them to modulate the
\naircraft in passenger mode.
\nThus, this versatile cargo changing system offers better cost-effectiveness with 35% lower operating
\ncosts per tonne compared to large shippers with similar options.
\nTo conclude, we should also mention the extensive engineering work put in to significantly reduce
\nnoise and CO2 emissions.
\nIf there were to be a quick, economical and malleable solution to freight transport problems, the
\nAirbus A330-200F is obviously one of the solutions.<\/p>\n
