Cargo lift is one of the basic and
primary necessities for an organization to run successfully and
efficiently, for this various aircraft industries have manufactured a
special and very important breed of aircrafts. These aircrafts are only
meant for heavy duty to light duty transportation of equipment,
passengers and troops. Their defenses are limited and thus are not meant
to fight in any kind of war until or unless they are modified to do so
like the AC-130 Gunship, a special breed of successful transport
aircraft the C-130 Hercules.
