FLIGHT WITHOUT CONTAINER

The airplane can also fly without container. For this, the head (1) and the tail (3) are displaced over the rails (4) until uniting, to be locked and to form a solid assembly in the precise point where they balance the center of gravity of the airplane, so that the airplane can fly in a stable way. The ability to fly without container allows to save fuel in the unloaded flights, because the aircraft flies with less weight, in comparison with the current cargo aircrafts. The flight operation is carried out with the “Fly-by-Wire” technology. For it, between the head and the wing box the communication settles down with two multiple and folding cables. These cables housing on the interior of each rail. The head landing gear is operated electrically, and the main landing gears will be with hydraulic technology.
