Introduction
Aircraft manufacturers around the world have designed and built aircraft stating that they are multi-role capable.Very few have in fact achieved this e.g. the De Havilland Caribou, the Lockheed C130 and the Chinook helicopter.However, none can encompass the capability of AeroCat.

(12 standard pallets or 24 stacked plus 8 additional pallets on the truck)
Mobile Hospital• Complete medical and dental facilities flown directly where needed.• The medical AeroCat can stay in place as long as required while a
Humanitarian Aid/Supply AeroCat replenishes food, clothing and other supplies as necessary.
• AeroCat’s long endurance brings quality aid and supplies in large quantities to remote areas not easily accessible by other modes.
