Cargo compartment volume in aircraft design represents the total available interior space within the aircraft’s cargo hold for carrying cargo, baggage, or freight. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit for cargo compartment volume:Formula:
The formula for calculating cargo compartment volume (V) is generally straightforward:
- V represents the cargo compartment volume, typically measured in cubic units such as cubic meters (m³) or cubic feet (ft³).
- Length is the linear measurement of the cargo compartment along its longest dimension, measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Width is the linear measurement of the cargo compartment along its width, also measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Height is the linear measurement of the cargo compartment’s height or depth, again measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
