A technical guide to the operational economics of jet transport

Organized in the manner of airline training material, this manual connects aircraft performance engineering with the practical decisions that shape payload, range, operating speeds, and profitability. Carlos E. Padilla brings together core calculations and operational constraints, covering payload-range curve development, weight-and-balance work, cost index and economy-speed concepts, propulsion and thrust-setting parameters, cockpit automation challenges, and performance-related FAA restrictions. Example problems and solutions give the technical subjects a worked, instructional framework, while glossaries of abbreviations and terminology support navigation of specialized aviation language. The book presents jet transport efficiency as an intersection of design limits, flight operations, and airline economics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Aviation professionals involved in jet transport operations or performance engineering
  • Students using airline-style technical training material
  • Readers seeking worked problems on payload, range, weight, and operating-speed calculations

Book overview

Modeled on airline training courses, this groundbreaking book thoroughly explores the driving maxim of jet transport design and engineering--carry as much weight as possible as far as possible at the greatest profit possible. Experience performance engineer Carlos Padilla examines the key concepts and methods being used by today's TMS successful industry players to achieve this important goal.

This extensively researched volume provides you with important insights and hard-to-find information gained only through experience, including comprehensive explanations of performance issues related to jet operations. Featuring helpful lists and explanations of abbreviations and relevant terminology, this authoritative manual is also filled with example problems and solutions.

Inside, you will find concise examinations of: challenges arising from cockpit automation; development of payload-range curves; cost index and economy speeds; calculations for weight and balance; performance-related FAA restrictions; propulsion systems and thrust setting parameters.

The competitive environment of the airline industry makes this book a vital resource for professionals working in the jet transport environment.
