Explanation <strong>of</strong> Payload-Range DiagramBoundariesFrom this diagram three corner points representing combinations <strong>of</strong>range and payload are labeled with roman numerals (I-III). Anexplanation <strong>of</strong> these points follows.Operating point (I) represents an operational point where theaircraft carries its maximum payload at departs the origin airport atmaximum take<strong>of</strong>f gross weight (note the brake release gross weightboundary) <strong>of</strong> 297.6 metric tons.The corresponding range for condition (I) is a little less than 5,900nautical miles. Note that under this conditions the aircraft can carryits maximum useful payload limit <strong>of</strong> 56,900 kg (subtract 195,000 kg.from 138,100 kg. which is the OEW for this aircraft).Virginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 84
