Given an aircraft type, a route, and an average cargo density, we may find the weight limitation is considerably more, or considerably less, restrictive than the cubage limitation. If so, the appropriate limitation may be kept in mind and the other limitation
forgotten. If not so, the dispersion of cargo densities about the average becomes relevant.
The author of the statement further elaborated by
explaining that if the weight limitation of an aircraft
over a given route is 15 tons and, that if the cargo density
is such, that on the average, 15 tons of cargo can be
loaded in the available space, the chances of averaging 15
tons are nil.*^ Unless available space or weight lifting
capacity is a free good, which may be the case for any
narrowly defined problem, both limitations should become
effective. They can become effective by selecting different
aircraft, selecting different cargo, modifying loading
regulations, altering loading and tie-down techniques,
altering packaging methods of altering operating characteristics
of the aircraft. The concept is in keeping with
the Air Force requirement for a family of logistical trans-i
port aircraft, varying in size, payload capability, and
| range.
Present state of the density problem. The state of
the density problem is adequately described by a prominent
