Colorado Startup Developing Massive New Cargo Plane to Transport Oversized Wind Turbine Blades
- Colorado startup Radia is developing a massive new cargo plane called WindRunner to transport 300-foot wind turbine blades
- At 356 feet long and with a 272,000 cubic foot cargo bay, WindRunner would be the largest aircraft ever built
- It is designed to take off and land on short runways to reach remote wind farm sites
- Radia aims to enable installation of far larger wind turbines using the plane to deliver the oversized blades
- An impressive team of aerospace veterans and leaders is advising the project, though no firm timeline is yet public
