Scope (aeronautical)


Graphic that represents the reach of an airplane based on the load it transports:

In aeronautics, it is called the reach of an aircraft at the distance it is capable of traveling at a cruising speed in a straight line. This concept is different from the radius of action, which implies that the aircraft must return to its starting point on the same flight.

The maximum range is a very important specification for aircraft and is calculated with the fuel-filled device and the minimum payload. The more payload a plane carries and the less fuel, the smaller its reach.
