A fixed-wing, powered, non-buoyant, enclosed cargo aircraft design for carrying low-density wind turbine components is disclosed. The cargo aircraft can include a fuselage defining a forward end, an aft end, and a continuous interior cargo bay that spans almost all of a length of the fuselage from the forward end to the aft end, the cargo bay being capable of enclosing a maximum payload length approximately in the range of about 75 meters and about 125 meters. The aircraft is capable of short takeoff and landing (STOL) operations while carrying a maximum payload weight. The takeoff field length can be less than about 10 lengths of the maximum pay load length.
