Fairchild C-82 Packet goes into production at Hagerstown
Military secrecy lifts as Fairchild announces the C-82 Packet now in production. The cargo plane features a 3 500 mile range, two 2100 hp Pratt and Whitney R-2800 engines, and a vast fuselage designed for rapid loading of tanks, troops, and equipment. It can carry up to 76 passengers by day or 50 as an airliner, with paratroop and glider-towing capabilities and postwar commercial potential.

Packet cargo plane C-82 features monocoque build and electric actuation
The monocoque aluminum construction includes alclad wings and fins with fabric covered control surfaces and two elevator tabs. Wing flaps extend from the ailerons to the nacelles, and tricycle gear retracts into engine nacelles with a fixed nose wheel. Electric systems power all actuators with emergency hand operation. Originating in 1941, the Fairchild C-82 design progressed from mock-up to prototype in under 21 months, earning an Army Air Forces contract and beginning production in a new facility.
