Design of 2A Greyhound Conveyor

The C-2 Greyhound transport plane is driven by two Allison T56 turboprop engines. C-2A and C-2A(R) models can provide payloads up to 65,438+00,000 pounds (4,545 kilograms). The cabin can accommodate cargo and/or passengers at any time. It is also equipped with equipment that can transport the wounded and serve as a medical escort. Moreover, in just a few hours, it can transport goods that need priority treatment (such as jet engines of fighter planes) directly from the shore to the aircraft carrier.

In addition, the aircraft is also equipped with a transport frame and cargo cage system, plus the large tail ramp, cabin door and power winch facilities of the cargo plane, so that this cargo plane can quickly load and unload materials on the aircraft carrier. The open ramp of the C-2A allows it to use the aircraft carrier as a mobile base to drop supplies and personnel. Coupled with its foldable wing design and auxiliary power system (providing self-sufficient power for take-off and landing, facilitating its operation in remote areas), the C-2 Greyhound transport aircraft has become a multi-functional carrier-based transport aircraft, which is unmatched by other cargo aircraft.
