Wichita, KS – A new research partnership between Wichita State University’s (WSU)
National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and the United States Air Force recently
involved a 1,000-mile transport of a B-1 Bomber fuselage from Tucson, Ariz. to NIAR’s
Aircraft Structural Test and Evaluation Center in Park City, Kans. Due to the height and
width requirements of this transport, the team was required to navigate tight turns, twisting
roads and steep inclines. The transportation and unloading of the airframe was a complex
operation requiring many experts in the field to work cooperatively to safely deliver the
airframe.
NIAR appreciates the extraordinary efforts of the 309 th Aerospace Maintenance and
Regeneration Group (AMARG) for loading the airframe in Arizona; Flatbed Hauling Quotes,
Inc. for coordinating the transportation efforts; Berard for safely transporting the fuselage
from Arizona to Kansas; and Belger Cartage Service for unloading the airframe at the NIAR
facility.
“This complex move was a monumental team effort that integrated many transportation
elements in order to ensure the safe delivery of the B-1 fuselage to NIAR,” said Melinda
Laubach-Hock, NIAR B-1 program manager and Aging Aircraft Lab director. “The unique
experience of each team member was instrumental to the success of the operation.”
