One of of four Super Guppies, that flew back and forth between the Airbus factories for numerous years. Today, the original is on display at the Bruntingthorpe Air Field, near Birmingham, UK.
Designed as a turboprop-powered enhancement of the Pregnant Guppy wide-bodied cargo aircraft, the Super Guppy Turbine (SGT) was first flown on August 31st, 1965. While a single Super Guppy (SG) was built from a C-97 Turbo Stratocruiser, four examples of the Super Guppy Turbines were built using all-new fuselages constructed from the ground up. The redesigned fuselages enabled the Super Guppy Turbine to have a wider cargo compartment floor (13 ft vs. 9 ft) and greater cargo compartment dimensions of 111 ft in length and an internal diameter of 25 ft. Higher performance Allison turboprops also distinguished the SGT from the SG. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
