An aircraft's hold is 3.00 m wide and containers are 1.53 m. The designer proposes loading two abreast. This is

  • A.Feasible with careful handling
  • B.Feasible if the containers are rotated
  • C.Feasible only when the hold is empty
  • D.Not feasible, since two need over 3.06 m

Answer: D

Correct answer: Not feasible, since two need over 3.06 m

Two containers of 1.53 m need 3.06 m before any clearance for handling and restraint, and the hold offers 3.00 m. It does not fit, and careful handling cannot recover six centimetres that do not exist.

Rotating them changes the dimension presented but not the arithmetic, and an empty hold is no wider than a full one. This is the step-change the cross-section must be designed to clear: a hold just short of the width for two carries one.
