Feasibility study of C-141A fuel conservation through aft c. g. operations. Final report Jun--Dec 1975. [c. g. = center of gravity]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7343496
This report is a feasibility study of the potential fuel savings resulting from the operation of the C-141 aircraft loaded and flown in a more aft c.g. condition than has been practiced in past operations. The study included a survey of actual operations at Charleston and Travis Air Force Bases, a review of C-141 aircraft loading histories taken from Weight and Balance Clearance Form F data, and analyses of changes in cruise drag, handling qualities and flight controls, fuel management sequencing, and service life associated with the operation of the C-141 aircraft at the most-aft, currently-authorized c.g. position and beyond this position. Results are presented in terms of c.g. operational limits and associated fuel/cost savings. (GRA)
