MIL-STD-1791A, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INTERFACE STANDARD: DESIGNING FOR INTERNAL AERIAL DELIVERY IN FIXED WING AIRCRAFT (19-NOV-2012)

MIL-STD-1791A, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INTERFACE STANDARD: DESIGNING FOR INTERNAL AERIAL DELIVERY IN FIXED WING AIRCRAFT (19-NOV-2012)., This standard establishes general design and performance requirements for U.S. Government-developed or commercial-off-the-shelf cargo to be safely air transported in the cargo compartments of USAF fixed wing aircraft. Cargo is defined as any materiel such as munitions, machinery, food, fuel, and gases. Items used to support personnel or animals are also included. The standard covers the USAF prime mission cargo aircraft (e.g., C-130E/H/J, C-130J-30, C-17, C-5), cargo carrying systems of the tanker fleet (KC-10 and KC-135) as well as the cargo aircraft in the long-range, international segment of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) (e.g., B747, DC-10, B767). The structural and dimensional criteria for other cargo aircraft are documented in specific manuals for each aircraft.
