US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has at its disposal a wide range of vehicles to support its strategic lift requirements. Across this range of capabilities, there exists an operational hole characterized by heavy lift at high speed. Surface vessels, such as the LMSR and FSS, can be categorized as Heavy Lift / Low Speed (HL/LS) vehicles while aircraft, the C-17 and C-5, can be categorized as Light Lift / High Speed (LL/HS). This paper proposes that the US military procure a Heavy Lift / High Speed (HL/HS) Hybrid Aircraft transport, able to transport 15 C-17 loads of cargo (approximately 1300 tons of cargo) at a cruising speed of 115 knots. Such a vehicle would greatly improve USTRANSCOM's ability to meet its mission objectives while expanding the geography into which cargo transport is possible.
