Payload-range performance is limited at long range by

  • A.Tank capacity, then payload is traded
  • B.Cabin volume
  • C.Engine thrust
  • D.Runway length

Answer: A

Correct answer: Tank capacity, then payload is traded

The payload-range diagram has three regimes. At short range payload is capped by the maximum zero fuel weight; in the middle both payload and fuel can be carried until the take-off weight limit is reached; and at long range the tanks are full, so extra range can only be bought by removing payload. That last trade is the sloping segment at the right-hand end of the diagram.
