BOEING 787 DREAMLINER WING SECTION FLIES ONBOARD AN-124
Aircraft wings for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner were transported from Japan to Boeing’s final assembly factory in Everett, USA, onboard one of Volga-Dnepr Airlines’ An-124-100 ‘Ruslan’ freighters. The flight from Nagoya carried two wing boxes, each measuring 28 metres in length and manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan).
To accomplish the secure and timely delivery of this special shipment, an international team from Volga-Dnepr Airlines in Russia and the UK, the Boeing Corporation in the United States, and Germany’s Broetje Automation GmbH created unique loading accessories and equipment to ensure safe handling and transportation of this non-standard cargo to its final destination. The loading system was designed using the CATIA three-dimensional modelling system.
