The Transport Aircraft is an air unit that is solely used for airlifting and deploying ground units to enemy territory.
Transport Aircrafts are fast-moving aircraft that are designed to travel far distances, due to its substantial endurance, and launching ground units for air-to-surface campaigns. It is a vital unit to execute many deliberate operations: capturing key cities, securing strategic locations, sabotaging buildings, capital sniping, or outmaneuvering an enemy. They are also significantly logistic for bypassing harsh biomes and terrain, such as 
Iran, 
Antarctica, 
Alaska etc., so units are not directly affected by attrition.
Despite its variety of crucial tasks, the Transport Aircraft presents major flaws within its general system. Its weak durability marks the aircraft extremely vulnerable from being crushed instantly; it has a maximum of one division per plane, making it inefficient for initiating a mass ground deployment; and it is notable for its heavy duration of unloading units to the surface, providing enough time for the adversary to scramble and eliminate. Regardless of base performance, it is expensive to produce financially, making it the most costly unit in the aviation arsenal.
Costs[]
One transport aircraft is made with 20 
Aircraft Parts, costing $30,000,000, with an upkeep of $80,000. One unit consumes 3 units of 
Oil.
Load[]
A single transport aircraft can carry a maximum of 1 division of any ground unit. This includes:
- 10,000 Infantry
- 200 Tanks
- 50 Artillery
- 10 Anti Aircraft
How to Load[]
- Ensure to have 1 ground division of any unit, do not combine more than one ground division.
- Move your units close to the Transport Aircraft or vise versa. Your units cannot board the aircraft if it is too far from the plane.
- Hold your mouse and hover the ground unit and aircraft.
- Click 'Load into Transport'.
If there is an animated loading button on top of the plane, it indicates the process of that the unit is currently embarking the aircraft.
How to Unload[]
- Select your aircraft
- Click 'Unload Transport'.
The animated loading button will reappear on top of the plane, indicating the process of that the unit is currently being deployed off the payload.

Strategies[]
Transport Aircraft are the only air units that do not damage ground units. Transport Aircrafts, however, have larger endurance comparable to the bomber. They are best used in harsh terrain or biome., as they deploy divisions without them suffering through attrition.
Since Transport Aircrafts are extremely fragile, try to avoid an encounter with enemy fighters and anti-aircraft if possible. In addition to that, try to not get close to any naval units, because those units act as a substitute to anti air.
If the Transport Aircraft runs out of endurance and has units inside it, it will crash (even with an Aircraft Carrier or Allied airport nearby), so try to bring an Aircraft Carrier along with your Transport Aircraft. If this is not feasible, then its is recommended that one should lengthen its endurance via the Technology Tab or ensure that it lands at the nearest allied airbase before it runs out of endurance.
If a group of transport aircraft is damaged, (example: one or two are destroyed) the units they are carrying will be killed. This may only occur if the damage is suffered while unloading units.
The appearance of transport aircraft is similar to that of a Bomber, so during a mass bombing, you can send a transport craft towards an undefended big city or capital.
Trivia[]
The sentence in red that appears on the right when attempting to load a nuke into the Transport Aircraft.
- Nuking a Transport Aircraft will not subdue it or deal damage.
- Upon attempting to load a nuke into the aircraft, a red message will appear on the right, indicating that it is deemed impossible to board. The following sentence in the red text reads, "You can NOT be serious -_-".
- Despite their individual fragility, a large number of Transport Aircraft in the late game can actually be extremely effective due to their capacity to transport divisions. With 500 Transport Aircraft, you can move up to 5 million troops or 100,000 tanks across territories.
