scope:

This specification covers general design and performance requirements of military equipment for air transportability on fixed-wing Air Force aircraft . The complete air transportability requirements for an item of equipment not specified herein shall be specified in the individual equipment specification.

Applicability. The requirements and tests contained in this specification apply to the air transportability aspects of all items of military equipment. They represent the minimum acceptable transportability features. When it is known that the equipment will require transportability features that re more severe than the transportability features stated herein, the transportability features may be more stringent in the individual equipment specification.

intended Use:

This specification is intended to establish uniform requirements and tests for air transportability characteristics to be incorporated in the design of military equipment.
