The WindRunner is the world’s largest aircraft designed to transport wind turbine parts worldwide.

Built to carry 104-meter-long turbine blades, Radia’s WindRunner aims to change how these oversized components are moved.

Typically, turbine parts travel by specialized trucks or trains, but Radia realized this wouldn’t work for its larger designs. Instead, the company developed a cargo plane to handle the job.
