Transport aircrafts were designed and used at all times, when a human began to actively explore the sky, creating heavier-than-air machine. Initially, during the First and Second World Wars, the need to transport any cargo by air was satisfied with the help of bombers that carried cargo either as external load or in a bomb bay. The simplest way to design transport aircraft is to rebuild the fuselage of bomber or passenger aircraft, and so the first transport aircraft of the world appeared. Modern military transport aircrafts are specially designed and created to obtain the best performance in terms of cargo capacity, aircraft capacity, range and economy - the most important characteristics for this type of aircraft. Due to large dimensions, the transport aircraft plastic model kitsare produced in scales 1:72, 1: 100, 1: 144, 1: 288.
