Powered aircraft range is limited by the aviation fuel energy storage capacity (chemical or electrical) considering both weight and volume limits. [1] Unpowered aircraft range depends on factors such as cross-country speed and environmental conditions. The range can be seen as the cross-country ground speed multiplied by the maximum time in the ...

Fuel fraction is a key parameter in determining an aircraft's range, the distance it can fly without refueling. Breguet ’s aircraft range equation describes the relationship of range with airspeed , lift-to-drag ratio , specific fuel consumption , and the part of the total fuel fraction available for cruise, also known as the cruise fuel ...

The choice of which is the given first will depend on origin and period. A U.S. aircraft would have U.S. System of customary units given first (in the example of weight 'main' would be given in pounds (lb), and the value for 'alt' in kilograms (kg). Other aircraft are measured using the metric system, so they will have kg for 'main' and lb for ...
