A relaxed takeoff field length requirement will

  • A.Raise the takeoff constraint
  • B.Move the landing constraint to the left
  • C.Have no effect on the diagram
  • D.Lower the takeoff constraint

Answer: D

Correct answer: Lower the takeoff constraint

Relaxing the field length requirement means the aircraft may use more runway to reach lift-off speed, so less thrust is needed at any given wing loading. The takeoff line therefore moves downward, enlarging the feasible region and allowing a lower - and cheaper - thrust-to-weight ratio.

The landing constraint is unaffected, since it is set by approach speed and braking rather than by the takeoff run. This is a common trade in practice: an aircraft intended only for long runways can be given smaller engines than one that must operate from short fields.
