Modular air transport
A cargo aircraft built around the ISO container.
ISO-Plane is a light cargo aircraft concept designed to carry one 20-foot ISO container and load it autonomously, either from the ground or directly from a truck trailer.
A simple mission
Move the container directly from road to air.
Instead of adapting the cargo to the aircraft, ISO-Plane adapts the aircraft to the global logistics standard: the 20-foot ISO container.

Direct loading
A rear access concept designed for field operations.
The container can be positioned behind the aircraft and then handled by the aircraft itself. This architecture reduces dependence on heavy ground infrastructure.
- Loading from the ground
- Loading from a truck trailer
- Reduced need for external logistics equipment
Autonomous handling
The container becomes a simple payload to handle.
The loading system uses the standardized ISO container corner fittings to lift, guide and secure the payload inside the cargo bay.
- Interface with ISO corner fittings
- Integrated lifting and guidance
- Compatible with mission modules
Applications
Missions where every hour matters.
Urgent logistics
Fast transport of critical goods over long distances.
Humanitarian relief
Shelters, water, food, generators and emergency equipment packed in containers.
Medical
Mobile clinics, medicines, vaccines or specialized equipment.
Firefighting
Potential use of specialized containers for aerial firefighting missions.
Technical configuration
An architecture focused on the essentials.
ISO-Plane is not designed to be a giant cargo aircraft. It targets one precise mission: efficiently transporting a standard container with a lighter operational footprint.

ISO-Plane
One container. One aircraft. One mission.
A new approach to air freight: more direct, more modular and designed for operations where logistics speed creates value.
