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 ...

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 ...

A given aircraft's radius of action varies according to the altitude of its flight plan, amount of weight (ordnance in a military context) it is carrying, and whether or not it carries external drop tanks full of fuel. An aircraft engaged in low-level (lo) flight will have a smaller radius of action than the same one engaged in a high-level (hi ...
