CARGO anoraks will be pleased with this artists impression of an aircraft that will actually become a reality in 2006, even larger than Airbus Beluga A300 based component transporter. Seattle has released details of the 747 LCF (large cargo freighter), a modified 747-400. A pair of these aircraft will be needed to support the multi-national 787 programme, and possibly a third. Two ”planes have been identified for the conversion, which will be carried out in Taiwan. A commercial version at some point? Boeing would not comment.
