About the LD-7 with Angled Wings
An LD-7 P1P base with fixed-angle wings, built to the XAW code.
The wings are set at a permanent angle rather than folding, giving a simpler and stiffer structure at the cost of flexibility when the unit is empty. Same 5,000 kg rating and 14.0 m³ as the folding-wing build, with slightly more tare.
What it carries
How it is built
- A P1P pallet base fitted with fixed-angle wings, which support cargo overhanging the base.
- The wings are set at a permanent angle rather than folding.
- A flat aluminium sheet base with hardened edge rails that lock into the aircraft restraint system.
- Cargo built up on the base and held down by a net tensioned onto the edge rails.
- Contoured builds shape the load to the hold profile; squared-off builds use the full main-deck height instead.
- Wing variants add hinged or fixed-angle side extensions to carry cargo that overhangs the base.
Why it is used
- Takes cargo of almost any shape, since nothing encloses it.
- The lightest tare of any ULD for a given footprint, so more of the weight allowance goes to cargo.
- Stacks flat when empty, which keeps the cost of repositioning equipment down.
What to check before booking
- The cargo is exposed and the net is the only restraint, so the quality of the build-up decides whether the load arrives intact.
- The finished load has to match the hold contour or it will not fit.
- Nets and edge rails wear, and both are inspected before the unit is accepted.
