Aircraft cargo loading ramps

To load and carry a 50 Ton reactor across the Atlantic in an aircraft having 1.5" headroom clearance and a floor loading of 10 tons per linear metre was a daunting task, considering that the departure date was 21 days hence.

Since the successful completion of that project, sixteen more aircraft cargo loading ramps have been made, some innovatively from a foam sandwich.
