Boeing Dreamlifter
The Boeing 747 Dreamlifter (formerly Large Cargo Freighter or LCF) is a wide-body cargo aircraft. Cargo is placed in the aircraft by the world's longest cargo loader. It is an extensively modified Boeing 747-400 and is used exclusively for transporting 787 aircraft parts to Boeing's assembly plants from suppliers around the world.
==Development==
Boeing Commercial Airplanes announced on October 13, 2003 that, due to the length of time required by land and marine shipping, air transport will be the primary method of transporting parts for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (then known as the ''7E7'').〔Leach, Yvonne. ("Boeing 7E7 Will Use Air Transport for Component Delivery." ) ''Boeing Commercial Airplanes,'' October 13, 2003. Retrieved: March 17, 2008.〕 Initially, three used passenger 747-400 aircraft were to be converted into an outsize configuration in order to ferry sub-assemblies from Japan and Italy to North Charleston, South Carolina, and then to Washington state for final assembly, but a fourth was subsequently added to the program.〔Lunsford, J. Lynn. ("Ugly in the Air: Boeing's New Plane Gets Gawks, Stares." ) ''The Wall Street Journal'', January 8, 2007.〕 The Large Cargo Freighter has a bulging fuselage similar in concept to the Super Guppy and Airbus A300-600ST ''Beluga'' outsize cargo aircraft, which are also used for transporting wings and fuselage sections. At 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) the cargo hold is the largest in the world,〔"(Boeing Dreamlifter leads unique aircraft at AirVenture )" ''Experimental Aircraft Association''. Retrieved: September 30, 2012.〕 and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.〔Hanson, Mary et al. ("Boeing Selects EGAT for 747 Large Cargo Freighter Modifications." ) ''Boeing Commercial Airplanes,'' February 18, 2005. Retrieved: March 17, 2008.〕
