Which of the following would NOT reduce an aircraft's operating empty weight?

  • A.Reducing the number of galleys
  • B.Increasing the design load factor
  • C.Using lighter cabin seats
  • D.Adopting composite wing skins

Answer: B

Correct answer: Increasing the design load factor

A higher design load factor makes the structure carry more, so the wing and fuselage get heavier - it increases operating empty weight rather than reducing it. The other three all remove weight: fewer galleys, lighter seats, and composite skins that give the same strength for less mass.
