No mention on this page of 727s. I know that they hold the 88x125 pallets, and I'm pretty sure they hold 12 of them, but I'd love for someone who knows about this sort of thing to confirm. kmccoy (talk) 08:56, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Done. Jigen III
Jigen, I'm pretty sure we loaded 12 pallets into the 727-200F, but you put 11 on the page. Is it a typo, or do we have conflicting information? kmccoy (talk) 05:46, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I looked into it. You're right, it's 12 for the 200F. I was confusing it with the 200C (combi) which can only take 11. Jigen III 10:15, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. Another amazing example of how much people on Wikipedia know or can find out. If the 200F is full with 12 pallets, loading 11 pallets onto a 200C can't leave much room for passengers, right? Is a combi configurable so that if only six positions are needed, the rest of the area can be used for seating? kmccoy (talk) 02:28, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The 11-pallet load for the 200C is the 0 pax configuration. I guess all the extra stuff that makes the plane convertible takes up a pallet position. And to the second question, yes, mixed config can range from 4 to 9 pallets. Can't be less than 4 because the passenger seats will block the cargo door, and can't be 10 because the pallet will block the passenger door. Jigen III 11:58, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

wide-body only?

I'm concerned about the characterization that ULDs are only used on wide-bodied aircraft as mentioned in the very first line of the article. Of course wide-bodied aircraft predominate the air cargo world, but there are 737 and 757 freighters out there, not to mention surviving DC-8 aircraft.

Agreed, any idea/chance of people adding information for regional aircraft in particular the ATR? --80.42.87.174 15:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I thin Air France uses ULD's on its Airbus 320's for passenger baggage. 66.139.11.98 17:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to confirm that some A320 can take ULD's. Air Canada has 35 of these. They take 7 AKH ULD. Strangely enough, this completely different standard (only 45" high) does not have its own LDx code.

I created this page with original text and the majority of the info within it. The page [1] copied the info from Wikipedia. Not the other way around. Jigen III 12:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and if you don't believe me you can go see the History. You'll see how the text grew from the original startup article. You'll see how I experimented with different formats and different order to improve coherency to provide the info effectively (notice how the current article has virtualy the same info as the early versions in the History). Clearly you can't copy and paste such an extensive history. Notice how this[2] webpage uses the current version of the article verbatim, in the exact order of the current version (meaning they copied it from Wikipedia recently).

Apologies; the history certainly does support your account. I didn't look into the article history when I discovered what appeared to be a copyvio much too late last night. It does bring up an interesting issue which is Blastgard's license violation in the verbatim copying to thier website without the required notice and while asserting thier own copyright on the text (see bottom of the webpage). Has the Foundation gone after anyone for these sorts of violations yet? AUTiger ʃ talk/work 19:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AAJ

We have one of these sitting in the ULD lot tucked out of the way at FedEx IND. It came in on a 727 a couple months ago, and looks like a contour (SAA) except half as high. It looks really new and shiny, and has a few square windows. Can anybody dig any info on these? They don't really seem to be designed for any FedEx planes that I've ever seen; maybe a plane we use at another airport? I'll take a better look at it sometime this week and get a better description of it, I'm just curious to know if there are any planes that this actually fits correctly in without wasting half the plane's height.Triikan 12:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
