Boeing RC-1 (original) (raw)
The Boeing RC-1, short for "Resource Carrier 1", was a design for an enormous cargo aircraft intended to haul oil and minerals out of the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada where ice-free ports were not available. It was optimized for short-haul missions only, carrying cargo to locations for loading onto ships, trains or pipelines. Depending on the role, the design was nicknamed "Brute Lifter" or "Flying Pipeline". The RC-1 was designed in the early 1970s. The rapid increase in jet fuel prices after 1973 caused the project to become uneconomical.

| dbo:abstract | The Boeing RC-1, short for "Resource Carrier 1", was a design for an enormous cargo aircraft intended to haul oil and minerals out of the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada where ice-free ports were not available. It was optimized for short-haul missions only, carrying cargo to locations for loading onto ships, trains or pipelines. Depending on the role, the design was nicknamed "Brute Lifter" or "Flying Pipeline". The basic design had a rectangular wing spanning almost 500 feet (150 m), was powered by 12 Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, and had 56 wheels in the main landing gear. A total of 2,300,000 pounds (1,000,000 kg) of cargo was carried in two under-wing pods and fuselage. The RC-1 would have been roughly twice the size and mass of the Antonov An-225 Mriya, the largest aircraft built, but would have carried about five times the payload. The RC-1 was designed in the early 1970s. The rapid increase in jet fuel prices after 1973 caused the project to become uneconomical. (en) El Boeing RC-1, acrónimo de "Resource Carrier 1" (Transporte de Recursos 1), fue un diseño de un enorme avión de transporte ideado para acarrear petróleo y minerales desde las extensiones septentrionales de Alaska y Canadá, donde no estaban disponibles puertos libres del hielo. Estaba optimizado solo para misiones de pequeño transporte, llevando carga a lugares para cargarla en barcos, trenes u oleoductos. Dependiendo de la tarea, el diseño era apodado "Brute Lifter" (Transporte Brutal) or "Flying Pipeline" (Oleoducto Volante). El diseño básico tenía un ala rectangular con una envergadura de casi 150 metros, estaba propulsado por 12 motores Pratt & Whitney JT9D, y tenía 56 ruedas en el tren de aterrizaje principal. Un total de 1000 Tn de carga se llevaba en dos contenedores subalares y en el fuselaje. El RC-1 habría tenido casi el doble de tamaño y peso que el Antonov An-225 Mriya, el mayor avión construido, aunque habría llevado casi cinco veces la carga útil. El RC-1 fue diseñado a principios de los años 70. El rápido aumento de los precios del combustible de aviación después de 1973, condenaron el proyecto por anti económico.

Il était optimisé pour des trajets de courte distance, sa cargaison étant ensuite destinée à être chargée sur des bateaux, des trains ou transférée dans des oléoducs. Il a été surnommé Brute Lifter ou encore Flying Pipeline (oléoduc volant). L'avion a notamment été envisagé pour le transport du pétrole issu du champ pétrolifère de Prudhoe Bay avant d'être finalement abandonné au profit de l'oléoduc trans-Alaska. À cet effet, l'avion devait être équipé de 12 moteurs de type 747, avait une envergure de 146 m et une queue de 25 m de long. Son poids brut au décollage devait être de 1 600 t. (fr) |
