Increased reliance on air transportation to support widespread military operations stressed importance of construction equipment design; characteristics of cargo aircraft, economics of transport, and design concepts for air transportable equipment are reviewed; speed of movement, logistic economy, and unavailability of surface transportation in many regions are cited as factors that make air transportable equipment essential for future military operations; as example, family of vehicles, referred to as Ballastable Engineer Sectionalized Tractors (BEST) is described and illustrated.
