1. TITAN Heavy Lift Transport
Team Members: Brian Lozano, Christian Hoover, Daniel Bavaro
Garett Williams, Michael Nelson, Ryan Mueller
Project Manager: William Kelley
Chief Engineer: Charles Russo
Motivation
• To design a heavy lift transport capable of
transporting a maximum payload of 300,000 lbs
• Primarily a C-5 and C-17 Replacement
Design Process
Aircraft Configuration Landing Comparisons
Loading Capabilities
• TITAN was design to minimize takeoff distance
• Maximum takeoff distance is 4549’
• Smaller takeoff distance then the C-5 & C-17
military transport aircraft
Size Comparisons
2 GE-9X
Engines

Winglets
Payload Range
• Chart provides range for all the design payload
ranges
• Range and combat radius with a mission
payload of 120,000 lbs
