Here's how Air Canada quickly turned 777 passenger planes into quasi freighters to haul medical supplies:
Light weight cargo only:
The weight restriction is not necessarily a problem. Air Canada says the cabin will only carry “light weight boxes containing medical equipment.” In-demand items like face masks and protective suits are volumetric, taking up space but not much weight. A box of face masks is larger than the box an iPhone comes in, but the iPhone box weighs more. Heavier items can be carried as usual in the below-deck cargo compartments.Freight aircraft have floors designed to lock cargo containers in place. Air Canada will use restraint nets that attach to seat tracks embedded in the floor.
Seat tracks secure passenger seats up to a 16g impact, so there is logic in using the seat tracks to restrain cargo. Boeingmooted this method in a March memo to airlines about how it was studying restraining cargo in the cabin. “This evaluation includes the analysis of cargo restraints connected directly to the seat tracks to ensure structural loads are within design limits,” Boeing said.
A safety measure is likely the restriction: the size of cargo nets, or limiting cargo height so in the event of smoke or fire, an observer can see the top of all items.
