N430GT

The airframe bearing tail number N430GT is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 28434. It is recorded as owned by ATLAS AIR INC, a corporation based in White Plains, NY, US, and has been operated in the U.S. registry as a main-deck freighter suited to large-payload operations. The type is a factory-converted or purpose-built freighter with a lower-hold ULD capability and has no passenger cabin; routine registry entries reflect commercial cargo configuration and standard U.S. registration actions. Condition and market valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted as a main-deck freighter with a side cargo door (SCD) and lower-hold ULD capability and contains no passenger cabin, reflecting a pure freighter mission fit. The flight deck is equipped with the Boeing 747-400 standard EFIS flight deck, supporting modern glass-panel avionics and crew systems typical of commercial 747-400/-400F operations. Typical missions for this configuration include long-range, high-payload cargo sectors within the aircraft’s approximately 4,455 nm range and cruise speeds near 504 knots, flown under the operational control of ATLAS AIR INC from its U.S. operational bases. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow four-engine widebody logistics norms, including oversight of PW4056 engines and freighter door/structural checks associated with main-deck cargo operations.

The airframe is of the Boeing 747-400 family, here designated Boeing 747-4H6F, a long-range, large-payload freighter platform that occupies a niche for high-volume intercontinental cargo work. Competing types in the same mission set include other large freighters such as older 747-200/300 freighters, widebody conversions of passenger frames, and twin-engine heavy freighters in markets progressively favoring twinjets for operating economy. Buyers and operators consider factors such as PW4056 engine support, structural life remaining on main-deck freight installations, and secondhand demand tied to global air-cargo market cycles when evaluating maintenance or resale for this model.
