Abstract

The economic and productivity potential of ultrahigh capacity airplanes, assessed through the payload-range diagram and the direct operating cost, is considered in the present work from a designer's viewpoint. Two different scenarios are envisaged: first, with current requirements and constraints; second, after including some achievable improvements. The design constraints analyzed are maximum takeoff weight-based wing loading, maximum wingspan, minimum aspect ratio, maximum zero fuel weight-based wing loading, and maximum fuel capacity. Furthermore, to account for possible advantages of unconventional concepts, the common wing-tailplane and a three-surface arrangement are dealt with in parallel, yielding a total of four cases: two configurations in two scenarios. The payload-range diagrams obtained are compatible with very dense, transatlantic, and transpacific routes; however, the three-surface solution in the second scenario exhibits very poor payload vs range flexibility. The benefits of the four cases are considered by computing the direct operating cost relative to that of a B747-400, providing clear economic arguments in favor of these ultrahigh capacity aircraft.
