One bay. Two variants. BN-1X and BN-1XM

The BN-1XM retains the common cargo-bay architecture, with local structural reinforcement and an additional rear cargo door for tactical offload and airdrop operations.
Civil · Mode 01

Loose boxes carried on the cargo deck, arranged in 4 main zones plus a tail bulk cargo zone. Loaded through the front door. Civil BN-1X.
BN-1XM · Mode 03
Four 463L military pallets accommodated on the cargo deck, with loading possible through either the front or rear cargo door. The rear door also enables tactical offload operations. Tactical BN-1XM.
Ground path
Loading is primarily conducted through the front cargo door using a standard cargo loader.
On the BN-1XM, the rear cargo door provides additional access for loading, tactical offload and airdrop operations.
