To calculate the cargo capacity for each compartment of an aircraft, you need to know the dimensions of each compartment and the maximum payload density (ρ_max) that each compartment can safely carry.
Here’s the formula and steps to calculate the cargo capacity for each compartment:
- Cargo Capacity_compartment represents the cargo capacity of a specific compartment, typically measured in cubic units (e.g., cubic meters or cubic feet) depending on the unit used for compartment volume.
- V_compartment is the volume of the compartment, typically measured in cubic meters (m³) or cubic feet (ft³).
- ρ_max is the maximum payload density, representing the maximum allowable mass per unit volume that the compartment can carry, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³).
