What concerns me about the transport of the Egg is that the military primarily relies on cargo nets for moving irregular shapes, rather than tarps. Using a tarp for such an unusual shape seems both risky and illogical.<\/p>\n

I’m intrigued by the transport method described in Jake Barber’s interview about THE EGG. A quick Google search reveals that tarps are mainly used by the military to cover trailers, not for transporting irregular objects. In fact, I found little to no examples of air transport using tarps for this purpose in my searches.<\/p>\n

Conversely, there are numerous references to secured cargo net methods in military air transport, with plenty of images, guidelines, and practices showcasing their use.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it would have been far more sensible to secure the EGG using cargo nets with tie points during its transport.<\/p>\n

Has anyone looked into, or does anyone have practical examples of air transport situations where tarps were used to partially cover objects, leading to cargo movement or shifting upon landing? <\/p>\n
