The '''[[Pello Corporation|Pello]] STV-244''' (Standard Transport ''Volar'' 224) is a [[Urcean]] four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by the [[Pello Corporation]]. Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the STV-244 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found use as a platform for a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for several military forces worldwide. More than 40 variants of the 244, including civilian versions, operate around the world. | The '''[[Pello Corporation|Pello]] STV-244''' (Standard Transport ''Volar'' 224) is a [[Urcean]] four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by the [[Pello Corporation]].

Introduced in the 1950s to replace several [[Second Great War]]-era models of military transport aircraft, the STV-244 soon became the standard for the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]], making the varied types and sizes of transport introduced during the war mostly obsolete. | |||
