Technical

The An124-100 cargo bay is 36.5m long, 6.4m wide and 4.4m high.  This is the largest dimension at the wing box section at mid fuselage.  Download the cross section pdf diagram for detailed dimensions of the section.

There are two overhead travelling cranes with a combined capacity of 30 tonnes which operate the length of the fuselage and obstruct the available height when in use.  Care should therefore be taken when planning loads to take advice from the operator regarding load positioning and loading sequence when maximum height is required.
