Passenger vs Cargo versions

edit

Its a little confusing. They have different prices for the two different options, passenger & cargo. It says the passenger version can be converted to a cargo version by two people in an hour. Does this mean the cargo version has no ability to be converted & the passenger version is the only one with flexibility? CycloneSteve (talk) 16:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

What it says is The cabin of the passenger version is designed for quick conversion to a freight configuration, not conversion to the cargo version. It would be clearer if there was a variants section as there are two. The cargo version has a large side door, rollers on the floor and can take three LD3 containers, the passenger version has no side door, no floor rollers and can not take containers. What can be done (which is described) is to remove the seats to load loose freight (sacks, boxes etc), they would then be strapped down, often using nets. It's quite common for aircraft of this size to be able to remove the seats for flexibility or even just to reduce the weight if they're not needed.

Also note that the cargo version has no passenger windows, while the combi and passenger versions do have them.Lestocq (talk) 20:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
