Aircraft Payload-Range Analysis for Financiers By: Shannon Ackert Abstract The role of aircraft performance analysis is to examine the capabilities and limitations of an aircraft in context to an operator’s requirements. A carrier, for example, might be looking at aircraft optimized for particular routes in their network, or it might be more interested in the flexibility to operate an aircraft profitably across multiple routes. One of the most widely means used by airlines to compare the operating economics of an aircraft is by evaluating its payload-range performance, which can be illustrated graphically through the payload-range diagram. This report provides an introduction to aircraft payload-range performance analysis by examining the details that make up its capabilities; aircraft operational weights are studied, and their cause and effect relationship on payload-range performance are investigated in great length. In particular, payload- range analysis involves examining Maximum Take-off Weights (MTOW) and its various components to assess the aircraft’s payload capability at different ranges, as well as range capability with different payloads. Finally, the report illustrates how multi-range versions of an aircraft type can help the airline better achieve both operational flexibility and cost advantages to particular parts of its network. Ideally, there should be a match between the stage lengths in the airline network and optimum payload-range of the aircraft employed. Copyright © 2013 Aircraft Monitor. All rights reserved.
