For example, if the dimensions are all doubled in size, then the area and lifting capacity increase 2 × 2 = 4 times, while the volume increases 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 times. For a passenger aircraft, this doubling in size allows up to twice the cabin space per passenger.
The Spartan C5 was a passenger and utility aircraft produced in small numbers in the United States in the early 1930s. [1] [2] [3] It was a further, ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to market the Spartan C4, from which it was developed. [2] Like its predecessor, the C5 was a high-wing, strut-braced monoplane with a fully enclosed cabin. [1]
