Building the world's largest aircraft, the WindRunner™

Joined September 2022
#WindRunner is designed to be the #WorldsLargestAircraft — with approximately 6,800 cubic meters of usable cargo volume. To put that in perspective: 7x the cargo space of the largest military airlifter in service. 10x the volume of a 777F. 108 meters long. 80-meter wingspan. 24 meters tall. WindRunner is not just bigger. Its built for a new category of cargo. Learn more: radia.com/windrunner

25 days reduced to 1. Moving a V-22 Osprey from California to Japan today requires sea transport, disassembly and extensive logistics. C-242 #WindRunner is designed to change that. When operations demand flexibility, logistics need to match. Learn more: radia.com/defense #C242 #StrategicAirlift #Defense #V22Osprey

At #AFANational, one message is clear: the future of logistics isn’t just about moving more. It’s about moving differently. @AFA_Air_Space emphasized the need for greater speed and scale as forces disperse, infrastructure becomes more contested and systems grow larger. #WindRunner is designed to move complete systems, intact, where they’re needed most—redefining what's possible for national security responsiveness. #StrategicAirlift #ContestedLogistics #DefenseReadiness

Today's airlift fleet runs out of space before it runs out of lift. C-242 #WindRunner is designed to close that gap. ✓ 6 CH-47 Chinooks ✓ 4 V-22 Ospreys ✓ Patriot missile systems Complete platforms. Loaded through the nose. Delivered directly to austere, unpaved locations. Visit Radia at Booth 551 during @AFA_Air_Space #ASC2026 #WorldsLargestAircraft #StrategicAirlift #Defense

#WindRunner offers 7x the cargo volume of today’s largest airlifters—designed to move rocket stages, satellites, and aerospace systems fully intact, in ways no existing aircraft can. That means: - Deployment timelines measured in hours, not weeks. - More launch site flexibility. - Fewer constraints between factory and pad.

Some of the most critical defense systems can't be transported by air. What if they could? After 30+ years of military service, Maj. Gen. Kenneth “Thad” Bibb, Jr. (Ret.) knows firsthand the growing demand for strategic airlift and agile logistics. As Radia’s VP of Business Development, Defense, Thad explains how #WindRunner is purpose-built to complement existing mobility fleets, giving commanders the flexibility and speed needed to respond decisively. Meet Maj. Gen. Thad Bibb and the Radia team at the @AFA_Air_Space Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Sept. 14–16, (Booth #551), to learn how WindRunner’s unprecedented cargo volume and operational flexibility expands the reach, responsiveness and resilience of U.S. and allied forces. #WorldsLargestAircraft #StrategicAirlift #AFA

When disaster strikes, humanitarian organizations make the impossible possible — getting critical supplies to people who need them most, often under extraordinary conditions. We’re building WindRunner to help make that mission easier. Designed to carry the largest, most critical items — and more of them — WindRunner aims to help bring field hospitals, shelter systems and essential humanitarian supplies where they’re needed most, including places traditional airlift may not be able to reach. In a crisis, access is everything. Learn more: radia.com/ #WindRunner #WorldsLargestAircraft #HumanitarianAid

WindRunner began with a singular mission: remove the logistics barriers limiting the growth of wind energy. Since then, we've learned that the same challenge exists across many industries. Defense, aerospace, commercial logistics, and humanitarian response all depend on moving critical cargo that is often oversized, time-sensitive, and difficult to transport. WindRunner solves this problem. Expanding the aperture means extending this solution across multiple industries. #WindRunner #WorldsLargestAircraft #ExpandingTheAperture

#NEW: "America's Next Strategic Advantage Is Logistics Speed" — fresh perspective from retired Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Programs for the @usairforce Rick Moore. The U.S. strategic airlift fleet was built for a different era. The cargo has changed. The timelines have tightened. The gap between what needs to move and what can move by air is widening. Rick Moore makes the case that bridging that gap isn't only a future problem, but a near-term opportunity.

Defense readiness is only as strong as the ability to move complete systems where they are needed, when they are needed. Today, too many critical assets cannot be transported by air intact — forcing disassembly, delays, and reduced operational availability. C-242 WindRunner is designed to eliminate that constraint.

A rocket booster cannot fly intact today. Instead, it must be disassembled, shipped in sections, and reassembled at its destination—adding cost, complexity, and risk to every mission. WindRunner is designed to eliminate the bottleneck. By transporting complete systems in a single flight, #WindRunner can streamline logistics, accelerate deployment, and return to service for the next mission.

No deterrence without logistics. Today's security challenges require the ability to move critical systems and infrastructure at scale. This week, Radia is joining leaders at #Mission2044 #ReArmEurope in Berlin to discuss the future of strategic mobility and European defense.

Volume is the new frontier of airlift. Today's cargo aircraft often run out of space before lifting capacity—forcing disassembly, complex logistics, and costly delays. Radia is closing the gap between what needs to move and what can move by air. → radia.com

Strategic airlift is critical to national security — but the fleet is under strain. With a 37% readiness rate and no active production line, the U.S. & allies face capability gap. #WindRunner fills the gap with unprecedented payload volume and operational flexibility.
