Cargo planes

[AirbusGuy350]

Scanning didn't go as planed but here is the info for the A330-200F and the article didn't have clear range payload. I'll post a link to the article though and a remake of the table.


* range changes as payload does in dynamic mode aircraft so I think this variant wouldn't work in the AM model.

Airbus is only offering the PW 4000 series and Rolls Royce Trent 700 series engines no GE's.

If we say the MTOW is 230 tonnes, the range would be 3600 nm if it's a linear function. Am I right?

It would be 2/3 liner functions combined.

Something caught my eye while browsing all aircraft - there is an aircraft called Fokker F-27-500 Cargo. What is the specs of that plane?

I also saw the Il-96-400T, which is the cargo version of the Il-96-400, what is those specs?

Fokker stats: 240kts speed, Range: 710 (statute miles), Available: 1967, Cargo capacity 6,240, Price €6.05m

Il-96-400T is down as a passenger version in our database.

What about the 737-400C, they could be converted into freight aircraft, such as Alaska Airlines has done that, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines#Current_Fleet

[Mastafa]

I've got some info from the airline itself:


Length: 119 ft, 7 in (36.4 m)
Wingspan: 94 ft, 9 in (28.9 m)


Range: 2,370 miles (3,815 km)
Typical Cruise Speed: 502 mph (808 km/h)
Max. Cruising Altitude: 37,000 ft (11,300 m)

Wait a second...did I miss something? We're doing cargo now? 

[Mastafa]

What do you mean? The whole topic's on freighters.

[GQfluffy]

No, I meant in the game itself.

Like, we have stats on cargo and I remember one of the mods once said AM would eventually do a cargo version of the game...so I was wondering if that option was now available. I probably missed it.

[1993matias]

Nope, I'm just helping collect the data for cargo aircraft

Mastafa: Edited in.

[1993matias]

Added the Junkers Ju-52/1m.

According to this website, it entered operations in 1933. if you want to enter it in the database - it is a new aircraft.

Bump'n an ole topic, but anyway:

As for the different range-payload options: is it possible to first ceck whether the planned route is within range of the aircraft, and if so, that a maximum loadfactor is calculated (for easiness, this could be linear), and players can then establish the price in the normal way, without exceeding the maximum loadfactor. This would for example allow an intra-europe flight at maximum capacity for the AN225, and a EU-US flight at less-than-maximum capacity, because you need more range.

[1993matias]

So what you say is that the capacity of the plane is dependant of the length of the route?

[StephenM]

That is how it is in real life alright.
