Aircraft Comparison
Remember the list below is for fun and comparison only. Many conditions can dramatically affect what can fit into and be lifted by an aircraft. Even aircraft of the same type have differences – one Falcon 20 may be able to carry 48” cubed pallets, while most cannot.
Always consult an air charter expert regarding any specific aircraft’s exact capacity and suitability.
