Abstract | The prime purpose of an airline is to carry the maximum payload possible at a profit in accordance with the rule of three: 1. Safety. This paper will briefly outline the problems that face an airline in utilizing the payload potential of its equipment to a maximum. To achieve this goal severa1 closely related parameters must be considered: 1. Various types of payload. It must be stressed that these variables are inter-related, and collectively determine the payload that can be carried over a route segment under any set of conditions -- some restricted payload at one time; others at another. To illustrate this situation typical route analyses will be made. |
