Ultralifter I Super-Heavy Transport
Building on the success of our venerable Ultraliner commercial passenger carriers, Transdynamics is offering the Ultralifter series of blended-wing-body transports and tanker aircraft. The Ultralifter I is our baseline transport model. It has four quantum nucleonic engines for increased lift and extended winglets for improved stability. Otherwise, it is nearly identical in size and shape to the Ultraliner II.

Ultralifter I Specifications
Wingspan: 289 ft. 0 in. / 88.1 m
Length: 160 ft. 10 in. / 49.0 m
Height: 40 ft. 11 in. / 12.5 m
Ceiling: 42,000 ft.
Range: 16,000 nm / 29,632 km
Weight: 823,000 lbs / 373,307 kg (MTOW)
Speed: 562 knots / 1,041 km/h / 0.85 mach
Crew: 2 + 40 passengers/support personnel
Cargo: Up to 450,000 lbs / 204,116 kg
Powerplant: 4× Transdynamics Q610 quantum nucleonic engines
Cost: The standard Ultralifter I sells for USD $155 million per aircraft.
Ultralifter II Super-Heavy Tanker
The Ultralifter II is our specialized tanker aircraft. It has two larger quantum nucleonic engines designed for increased efficiency and time aloft. These engines also reduce the slipstream behind the exhaust to improve conditions for following aircraft. Up to three light aircraft (F-16 size or smaller) or two heavy aircraft (F-22 or larger) can refuel at any given time thanks to the wide span and reduced turbulence of the Ultralifter II. ECM and ECCM pods - mounted on opposite wings - are standard for such high value aircraft as these. Three (one under tail fairing, one in nose, one on dorsal mid-fuselage) anti-missile fiber-based laser jammers provide all-aspect protection against MANPADS, surface-to-air missiles, and air-to-air missiles.
