Скачать или смотреть Fairchild XC-120 Packplane: The Forgotten Modular Cargo Plane

The Fairchild XC-120 Packplane was one of the most unusual aircraft ever built – a 1950s American experimental modular cargo plane with a detachable pod system designed for lightning-fast loading and unloading. Based on the C-119 Flying Boxcar, the XC-120 replaced its internal cargo bay with a swappable cargo container, allowing it to carry troops, supplies, medical units, or even mobile command posts.

In this video, we explore the full history of the XC-120, from its development and first flight in 1950 to its extensive trials at Eglin Air Force Base, and why the U.S. Air Force ultimately decided against production in 1952. You’ll discover unique engineering details, rare archival facts, and the legacy this aircraft left on future modular transport designs.

Perfect for aviation fans, history lovers, and anyone fascinated by rare aircraft concepts.
