The phrase "airplane capacity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the number of passengers or cargo that an airplane can accommodate.
Example: "The new model has an increased airplane capacity, allowing it to carry up to 300 passengers."
Alternatives: "aircraft capacity" or "plane capacity".
Whether the business, called Marana Aerospace Solutions, is the biggest aircraft maintenance and repair operation in the world, as new owners claim, depends on how one measures it: by maintenance capacity, airplane parking space or total square footage.
The airplane had a capacity of 182 passengers; the September 11 flight carried 37 passengers and seven crew, a load factor of 20 percent, considerably below the 52 percent average Tuesday load factor for Flight 93.
"If they can fly a lower-capacity airplane across the country 20 percent cheaper," he said, an airline might be able to turn a profit on a route that is unprofitable when using a 250-seat airplane.
In the context of these studies basic problems related to the development of advanced large-capacity aircraft of a flying-wing (FW) configuration have been studied at TsAGI since the late-1980s (Symponium on "Aeronautical Technology in XXI Century", Moscow, September 1989; Conceptual design for passenger airplane of very large capacity in "flying wing" layout, ICAS 96-4.6.1, 1996).
The latest cuts in flights will ground 28 airplanes and reduce seating capacity by 20percentt, most of it on trans-Atlantic routes.
"Sometimes today airplanes are flying above capacity, but sometimes they're empty," says Bilge Atasoy, a student involved in the design.
To qualify for installation, a new engine undergoes several hundred hours of testing that embraces the entire intended range of speed and altitude capacity of the airplane.
"We are the extreme end of the service capacity of these airplanes," said Eugene Cameron, a long-haul flight expert for United.
The ACI tends to be efficient in filtering out anthrophonies (such as airplane engine noise), and demonstrates the capacity to synthetically and efficiently describe the complexity of bird soundscapes.
Last November, foreseeing intensifying losses, the airline announced a sharp retrenchment, killing plans for 10 new airplanes each year and modestly cutting capacity on existing service.
