Cargo aircraft
From Freepedia
(Redirected from Transport aircraft)
A cargo aircraft is an airplane primarily designed and used for the carriage of goods, rather than passengers.
Aircraft were put to use carrying cargo in the form of air mail as early as 1911. Although the earliest aircraft were not designed primarily as cargo carriers, by the mid 1920's airplane manufacturers were designing and building dedicated cargo aircraft.
