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 Global Express is a high speed business/corporate aircraft with a range of 6,500 nmi (12,000 km) at Mach 0.80 (459 kn; 850 km/h), [34] a 51,000 ft (16,000 m) service ceiling and a 14 hours endurance.
The first seven aircraft were built under the Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program, sponsored by DARPA, [9] in order to evaluate the design and demonstrate its capabilities. Demand for the RQ-4's abilities was high in the Middle East ; thus, the prototype aircraft were actively operated by the USAF in the War in Afghanistan .
In aviation, endurance is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in cruising flight. In other words, it is the amount of time an aircraft can stay in the air with one load of fuel. [1] Endurance is different from range, which is a measure of distance flown. For example, a typical sailplane exhibits high endurance characteristics ...
|range= – the maximum unrefuelled range of the aircraft |combat range= – the maximum range of the aircraft loaded for combat |ferry range= – the maximum range of the aircraft with ferry fuel |endurance= – the maximum flight endurance of the aircraft, where the range is unknown (this is particularly common in specifications of early ...
The hit to the company's finances and reputation extended to sales of new aircraft. Boeing received no 737 Max orders for at least two months and ended the year far behind Airbus in total net ...
The Tracker combined both functions in one aircraft, saving deck space aboard carriers and making for more efficient operations. [1] Grumman's design (model G-89) was for a large high-wing monoplane with twin Wright Cyclone R-1820 nine cylinder radial engines , a yoke type arrestor hook and a crew of four.
