Terry, e-mail, 02.01.2010 01:29 Useful load is a number made up by bureaucrats for performance matches the published numbers. Useful load in those days was whatever you could pack in and not bend it. reply | Ernie, e-mail, 04.02.2008 00:37 This plane is reportedly the first to fly with a useful load exceeding it's own weight. Any idea what the useful load was? reply |
