Northrup C-70 "Carryall" Heavy-Lift Transport

  The Northrup C-70 "Carryall" is the latest heavy lift aircraft to come from that company designed for both corporate and government use for a multitude of roles.
  The C-70 is a STOL capable aircraft designed to bring cargo to remote areas, much like the Lockheed C-260. In fact, the C-70 is being touted as a much more capable than the C-260, offering the same capability while bringing in the heavier loads. While analysts point out that the C-70 is far more expensive, there is no other in it's class on the market. The cockpit of the C-70 is a typical layout with the layout certified by North America, Europe, and even Russia. It is accessed by a staircase in the main cargo bay in the aircraft. It features rigger control gear for better flying, and the aircraft itself features improved handling characteristics over other aircraft as well for it's size. Additionally, as a standard design option, a retractable inflight refuelling probe is fitted to increase the long range of the aircraft.
  Below the cockpit area is the main cargo area, and considered spacious. A little bit of the cargo area runs directly below the cockpit area. This stops at the main nose section, where the avionics are located. Mounted along the area are numerous mounting points for straps and other securing gear while carrying cargo. The floor also has full LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) capability as well. Most vehicles can fit in here, with the width of the cargo area 5.3 meters. The height of the cargo area is 5.9 meters and the length only 46 meters. This gives it impressive capability in carrying most oversize cargo that some tactical cargo airplanes cannot carry. Access to the cargo area (as well as the cockpit) is a port mounted door, just behind the nose landing gear. The landing gear itself can be raised or lowered dependant on loads being carried. This gear is also capable on operating on rough terrain. Combined with it's STOL capability, the Carryall is the "go anywhere" tactical cargo plane. The access door has an extendable ladder for entrance, and can be controlled from the inside if necessary. Access for cargo is in the rear via a large clamshell door due to the height of the aircraft. Both the upper and lower halves are opened for quick access. Needless to say, the lower half can be opened if necessary, dependant on operational needs.
  The C-70 does not come equipped with weapon systems, but the whole aircraft is adaptable to the client's needs and mission requirements.
