The FF5000 is an all aluminum twin-engine, high-wing, un-pressurized, fixed gear, turboprop aircraft specifically designed as a utility air freight transport system. It satisfies an industry recognized need to cost-effectively feed containerized air cargo to the major hubs of the scheduled passenger carriers and the overnight express airlines.
The FF5000 was designed for optimum freight feed performance and operating economics . It has an amazing estimated 53.9% useful load to gross weight. Designed for the freight feed segment, but capable of 2,000 nm legs with a payload of 24,000 lbs (10,886Kg), using less than 3,500 feet (1,066m) of runway, allows the FF5000 to meet its design mission of expanding air cargo capacity to many smaller cities and airports worldwide.
The FF5000 boasts the lowest cost per ton/mile and the highest volume to payload capacity of any aircraft in its class today. This means it will reach a maximum substantial payload weight before “cubing-out”. The design advantages of the FF5000 which include non-pressurized cargo bay, rugged fixed landing gear, “Off-the-Shelf” proven components, and the ability to integrate standard industry containers, make it the clear leader and the only next generation freight feeder on the market today.
