I was thinking about this for MP. The issue I have with this is cargo planes need a loadmaster to keep the plane balanced. Prepacked MP containers with the interior cargo secured and balanced properly would probably work by simply hooking them to a plane. Attaching a random container that is not specifically balanced might lead to disaster. Planes in general, use multiple small containers to avoid this issue.

Doing a quick search shows your are not alone in your idea though.

This one would carry 12 conex containers. Again multiple contianers would mitigate some of the balance issues assuming you weighed and counterbalanced properly.
