Look inside

Page 1Two hours before takeoff, a jumbo jet waits at its gate. Its huge belly door swings open down below the wings.

Page 2Metal boxes called containers sit ready nearby. These are ULDs, short for Unit Load Devices.

Page 3A conveyor belt hums and carries a container forward. Its rollers spin fast, so nothing has to be pushed.
