	The LC-4 is a large, high-wing cargo aircraft with a distinctive twin-fuselage design, with six MT250 turbofan engines mounted on pylons beneath wings that are swept 20°. It's most distinctive design feature is the wide-body twin-fuselage configuration that essentially doubles the cargo capacity of the aircraft. The two fuselages are connected by a central wing spar that can be fitted with pylons for air launching weapons, aircraft, and spacecraft. In addition to increasing cargo capacity, this configuration also offers enormous redundancy and structural resilience. Theoretically, the LC-4 is capable of flying with one wing. The aircraft can be fitted to accommodate several hundred passengers for strategic deployment operations. Each cargo compartment of the aircraft is 98 ft (30 m) long and 20 ft (6 m) in diameter, or just over 49,440 cu ft (1,400 m<sup>3</sup>), allowing the LC-4 to transport large cargo such as AFV's, aerospace components, or a mix of palleted cargo and vehicles. The noses of both fuselages can be lifted up 90° to allow access to the cargo hold.

The noses of both fuselages can be lifted up 90° to allow access to the cargo hold.

−	Two cargo holds present a unique logistical challenge, as asymmetrical cargo distribution will adversely affect flight characteristics. Therefore, the loadmaster of the aircraft is an advanced onboard computer that can adjust fuel distribution, trim levels, and engine thrust during flight. These synthetic loadmasters are often treated as another member of the crew due to their highly particular and sardonic nature, and are viewed as the embodying personality of each airframe. As such they are, in a way, the aircraft itself. The synthetic loadmaster aboard LC-4-001 is named '''''<nowiki/>'Cody'<nowiki/>''''' after it's acronym ''<nowiki/>'<~~nowiki~~/>'''C'''argo '''O'''ptimization and '''D'''istribution '''I'''ntelligence'<nowiki/>'', whilst L-C4-002 is known as '''''<nowiki/>'Ellie'<nowiki/>''''' after it's acronym ~~''<nowiki/>~~'<nowiki/>'''E'''fficient '''L'''oad '''H'''andling '''I'''ntelligence'''.	+	Two cargo holds present a unique logistical challenge, as asymmetrical cargo distribution will adversely affect flight characteristics.
