sspan class="mw-headline" id="History">History[edit]

cargo jet inc. Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the TSX: CJT is a commercial air carrier. She provides cargo handling in Canada and abroad as well as complete air chartering. Headquartered at John C Munro Hamilton International Airport[1] Cargojet Airways is a joint stock corporation with over 800 people. Launched on 21 February 2002, the carrier commenced operation in June 2002.

Formerly it was Canada 3000 Cargo. Virmani first purchased 50% of Canada 3000 Cargo in July 2001 and purchased the remainder in February 2002. It was renamed Cargojet on 22 February 2002. Winnport Logistics was taken over in July 2002. Cargojet Airways purchased the cargo division of Georgian Express on 17 July 2007.

Georgian Express will be operating three Beech 1900 freighters and four Cessna Caravan freighters after the acquisition.

History[edit]

An air cargo plane (also known as cargo plane, cargo ship, air lifter or cargo plane) is a rigid winged plane that is conceived or modified to carry cargo and not air cargo carried by air travelers.... As a rule, such aircrafts do not contain any cabin conveniences and generally have one or more large cargo hold gates.... Cargo ships can be run by civilian or cargo carriers, by natural persons or by the armies of specific nations (the latter see Air craft for air transport).

Aircrafts conceived for cargo flying usually have characteristics that differentiate them from traditional commercial aircrafts: a broad/high body cross-section, a high wings so that the hold can be seated close to the floor, a large number of castors so that it can touch down in unexpected places, and a high-mounted rear end so that the cargo can be directly moved in and out of the airplane.

Airplanes in the shape of "air mail" were used to transport freight as early as 1911. Even though the early airplanes were not primarily conceived as cargo planes, until the mid -1920s the airplane manufacturer developed and constructed special cargo planes. World War II Germany's Arado Ar 232 was the first specially constructed cargo plane.

Ar 232 was supposed to replace the former Junkers Ju 52 cargo ship modifications, but only a few were made. The majority of other armed services also used cargo aircraft in the cargo roll, especially the C-47 Skytrain Douglas DC-3, which was used by virtually all Allies.

An important innovative development for freighter designs was launched in 1939 with the fifth and six prototype four-engine Junkers Ju 90 airlifter, the first known example of a transom dock. Like most of its time, this airplane used a type of undercarriage, which resulted in the airplane having a decisive backward inclination after touching down.

Those planes installed the Trapoklappe, a high performance ramp/hydraulic elevator with a passenger staircase centred between the lane access steps that lifted the tail of the plane into the sky and enabled simple loading/unloading. A similar back cargo bay even seemed in a slightly different shape on the nose undercarriage fitted Budd RB-1 Conestoga double engine cargo plane in World War II.

After the war, Europe also played an important part in the evolution of the advanced cargo and airfreight industries. During the Berlin Airlift it was at the climax of the Cold War when the Western world mobilized planes massively to provide Western Berlin with nourishment and sustenance in a 24-hour airlift after the Soviet Union shut down and blocked Berlin's westward connections.

In order to be able to deliver the required number of aircrafts quickly, many older models, in particular the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, were put into use. It turned out during operations that it took as long or longer to discharge these older structures than it did to discharge the much bigger Douglas C-54 Skymaster three-wheeled undercarriage, which was much lighter to move during landings.

C-47s were quickly decommissioned, and from then on shallow deck was a demand on all new cargo design. During the years following the end of the Napoleonic period, a number of new tailor-made freighters were launched, often with some "experimental" characteristics. The C-82 package of the USA, for example, had a detachable cargo hold, while the C-123 provider implemented the customary shape of the hull and transom to allow a much bigger cargo dock.

However, it was not until the advent of the turbo-prop that the profession matured, and even one of its first models, the C-130 Hercules, in the twenty-first hundred as the Lockheed Martin C-130J, is still the benchmark by which newer defence transportation airplane constructions are judged. Even though for many years bigger, smaller and quicker design proposals have been made, the C-130 is continuously improving at a pace that keeps it in operation.

"Strategic " cargo planes became an important category in their own right, beginning with the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy in the 1960' and a number of similar Russian constructions from the 70' and 80' to the Antonov An-225, the biggest plane in the can. This construction offers the possibility to support the heavyest burdens, even combat tank, on a worldwide scale.

Boeing 747 was initially developed according to the same specifications as the C-5, but later changed to a version with either passengers or all-freight capability. With the " dent " on the upper side of the hull, the cargo container gliding from the front can be removed from the crewing area in the case of an incident.

In announcing the Airbus A380, the manufacturer initially took orders for the cargo ship variant Airbus80F, which offers the second highest cargo carrying capability of any cargo plane and is only surpassed by the An-225. Legacy cargo derivates from commercial airliners were very appropriate. The Boeing 747-200F, for example, has proved to be the biggest cargo vessel in the cargo industry and could remain unchanged for several years.

The advantage of every derivatives cargo ship is that most of its design cost is already valued on the basis of the deal of its PNE. In addition, the necessary precautions have already been taken to finance the purchase of the plane and there is a fairly tight run-up period to manufacture (compared to all new aircraft).

One of the major disadvantages of existent cargo aircrafts is that they are older technologies and therefore their immediate operational cost is higher than what could be obtained with the present one. As they are generally not specifically engineered for cargo, they can cause cargo handling issues; the airplane can be put under more pressure than necessary; and security devices can be made for passengers that are not required for cargo.

Special civil cargo is an aeroplane that has been conceived as a cargo ship from the outset, without any limitations due to passengers or army demands. There has been a controversy over the costeffectiveness of such an aeroplane over the years, with some freight forwarders declaring that they could make a consistent return on such an aeroplane.

In order to help solve this dispute, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose two suppliers, Douglascraft Co. and Lockheed-Georgia Co., to investigate separately the feasibility of manufacturing such a cargo until 1990. That was done as part of the Cargo/Logistics Airlift Systems Study (CLASS). Special cargo planes with similar useful loads are expected to reduce travel costs by 20 per cent and reduce air fares by 15 per cent in comparison to other cargo planes.

However, these results are highly responsive to hypotheses about the cost of fuels and labour and, in particular, to the growing need for cargo handling capacity. In addition, it is ignoring the competition caused by the lower cost of equity of derivatives for cargo planes in the near-term. One of the key advantages of the devoted cargo carrier is that it can be specifically tailored to the needs of the cargo, and the way in which it is loaded and unloaded, the surface finish, the hull layout and the pressurisation are all optimally matched to its missions.

An advantage of combining developments is that the cost of developing the aircraft is borne by the civilian and defence sector and the number of aircraft needed by the defence sector could be reduced by the number of civilian spare aircraft acquired by airlines and made available to the defence sector in an urgent situation.

Possible disadvantages include the limitations of common deployment, the penalties that would be imposed on both civilian and defence planes, and the difficulties in finding an organisational framework that allows their tradeoff. Certain characteristics appropriate for a defence aeroplane would have to be refused as they are not appropriate for a civilian cargoer.

In addition, each plane would have to bear a certain amount of load that it would not bear if it were constructed separately. In particular, it is not clear that there will be a reasonable commercial viable commercial viable or that it will compete cost-effectively with commercial airliner derivative products. California's Elroy Air wants to substitute lorries on unreliable lines and pilot a sub-scale pilot and Natilus is planning a Boeing 747 large trans-Pacific UAV and is scheduled to pilot a sub-scale pilot; California's Sabrewing is targeting a small local UAV and is scheduled to pilot a 65% commercial by autumn 2018; Boeing flown an electrical vertically take-off and landed pilot (eVTOL).

The majority of rebuilds are performed on older aircrafts that are no longer fit for commercial operation, often due to changes in security or acoustic demands, or when the airplane model is deemed non-competitive in commercial air travel, but there is also a new cargo design business. Cargo planes usually have a reinforced cab floor and the accommodation of a wide flap hatch at the hull of the harbor as well as the lack of clogged window in the passengers cab.
