Specifications

The Belfast cargo bay dimensions are some 25.7 m in length and a basic cross section of 3.66m x 3.66m (12 feet by 12 feet), the aft area being more than 4m tall, allowing many helicopters to be transported without the need for rotor head removal.

It is large enough to accommodate all modern transport fan-jet engines which can be transported without difficulty and loaded with the aid of the on-board electric winch.
