Cargo planes

Hi!

I would like to help finding out cargo capacity of cargo planes.

Tonnes = metric tons; ton/tons = imperial tons.

I will list aircraft and sources here as I find them.

Unless otherwise stated, the listed aircraft would use the passenger version specifications.

Currently, I have:

Please note that this list isn't complete at all. I will continue to find more data as I have time.

New aircraft in the system:

ATR 42 and 72

Notes:
* = An-3T is an upgraded version of the An-2 - look here
**= I will find out the ranges of the ATR-42F and 72F.
I am still in doubt regarding the payload of Antonov aircraft, I will contact them (some day near the release of freight) to get more information.
The Il-96T and Il-96-400T are apparently the same, but I'm in doubt.
NOTE 2: tonnes taken from this site: http://www.chapman-freeborn.com/en/cargo_aircraft_specifications/
NOTE 3: The tonnage is taken by subtracting 'empty weight' and MTOW. These numbers are not precise.


EDIT 1 (26-3): Added several Antonov aircraft.
EDIT 2 (26-3): Added ATR, Bombardier, Ilyushin and Tupolev aircraft.
EDIT 3 (27-3): Added Airbus, Antonov, Beechcraft, Boeing, BAe, Cessna, Dassault, Douglas, Fairchild, Lockheed, Saab and Shorts. Only added with cargo capacity (note 2).
EDIT 4 (30-3): Edited some data as I found www.aircharter-international.com with both payload in kilo and range. Added Shorts Bristol and 737-200F.
EDIT 5 (30-3): Added some older aircraft. EDIT 5a: Added some more. EDIT 5b: even more...
EDIT 6 (31-3): Removed A380F.
EDIT 7 (02-1): Added range and payload for ATR aircraft.

I would like to help finding out cargo capacity of cargo planes. What unit do you measure in? Metric tonnes?

Tonnes = metric tons; ton/tons = imperial tons.

Metric tonnes. 1000 kg = 1 ton. Find the weight in kg, nobody can be in doubts about that.

DC-9-30AF: A dedicated freighter. Anyone has the specs? (article on wikipedia)

MD-11F: I can't find anything yet (article on wikipedia)

MD-11F on Boeing's website:

The all-cargo MD-11F provides the capacity for 202,100-pound (91,670 kilograms) gross payloads

All numbers from this Boeing page: http://www.boeing.com/commercial/freighters/index.html

Boeing 747-8F - 140.000 kg at 8150 km 4400 nm: http://www.boeing.com/commercial/747family/747-8_facts.html

Boeing 747-400F - 110.000 kg at 8150 km / 4400 nm. (Mathias, your number is in long-tons).

Boeing 747-400ERF - 120.000 kg at 8150 km / 4400 nm or 110.000 at 9000 km / 4859 nm.

Boeing 777-200F - 103.900 kg at 9065 km / 4894 nm.

Boeing 767-300F - 54.400 kg at 5929 km / 3201 nm.


ATR: http://www.atraircraft.com/products/derivatives.html

ATR-42F - 5300 kg

ATR-72F - 8600 kg

Nice, I'll add those to the list

But wait, some of you're data doesn't match with my data. Maybe you wanna check the sources I've listed at each aircraft?

I used Boeing and ATR as sources.

The Il-96T and Il-96-400T are apparently the same, but I'm in doubt.

The Il-96T is the name of the modernised Il-96 family. The -400T is the modernised stretched variant. I don't think the Il-96-300T has been built yet.

[1993matias]

Okay, I now have a sleepless night

Lol, "the KFC plane" You mean KFC 5800, right?

Il-96T is the freighter variant of the Il-96. Il-96-400T is also the freigher variant of the Il.96-400. T stands for transport afaik.

[1993matias]

sorry for the double-post...

I found a GREAT site!

http://www.chapman-freeborn.com/en/cargo_aircraft_specifications/

Now I'll only need the range - that shouldn't be so hard

[AirbusGuy350]

I have the A330-200F stats in my flight international magazine. I'll see if I can scan it and put it up.

[1993matias]

Nice, thanks. I'm still editing from over an hour ago - this is tough work

As Virgin Serbia has eluded to with the 747-400ERF above, different cargo capacities result in different carrying capacities. In reality, airlines change the weight of cargo they have based on how far they want to fly - creating an element of variability not seen in passenger operations.
I don't know how AM would get around this... maybe getting a range of known capacities/ranges and offering them to players. Or perhaps having some kind of model which can calculate range/payload data, based on a few  known values.
I imagine most of the values you will find will be maximums - at least in terms of payload - and perhaps also in terms of range (especially if the data comes from two separate sources).

Simple, offer two engine `variants´. On has capacity instead of range, the other has range instead of capacity. It's really no different from passenger planes, and the game gets around that with no problems. Some airlines sacrifice passengers (and sometimes cargo) for longer range Take for example Emirates' route to LAX, using the 777-300ER. It is only possibly with reduced capacity.

Or perhaps having some kind of model which can calculate range/payload data, based on a few  known values.
I imagine most of the values you will find will be maximums - at least in terms of payload - and perhaps also in terms of range (especially if the data comes from two separate sources).

Game A has a nice system for calculating different capacities etc. But that is much more advanced. I think on the bottom line, we can't make everything 100% realistic. Even the 737NGs are horribly wrong in-game.    

If two numbers are different, we should find the average instead. The numbers aren't very different anyway.


Mathias, you forgot the 767-200F and A310F:
767-200F: 42.000 kg over 6000 km / 3239 nm - http://www.starair.dk/services.asp

A310-200F: 40.600 kg over 5950 km / 3212 nm - http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/a310-200f/
A310-300C: According to wiki, payload is the same as the -200F, range is 7330 km / 3957 nm

[CHR]

The problem with making "engine variants" is that you can't then vary it between routes. I can't choose to have extra range on one route and extra cargo capacity on the second.
The difference between cargo and passengers is that with the latter, the planes are fixed in their seat/range amounts (i.e. Emirates 777 is always in long range capacity - cargo planes aren't).
That said, even a simple system which operates much like the current pax system would be an interesting addition.

It would be good enough for the beginnings. We can't make everythin 100% realistic. You can't reconfigure the passenger planes either Perhaps at some later point the game can be fixed to make it better.

I might have forgotten them, but the list is far from done. Also, I try to find other sources than Wikipedia, as AM doesn't see Wiki as a reliable source.

I will try to find more data in the following days.

And I will probably change the payload to kilogrammes
