Payload
In military aircraft or space exploration, the payload is the carrying capacity of an aircraft or space ship, including cargo, munitions, scientific instruments or experiments. Extra fuel, when optionally carried, is also considered part of the payload. The fraction of payload to the total liftoff weight of the air or spacecraft is known as the "payload fraction". When the weight of the payload and fuel are considered together, it is known as the "useful load fraction". In spacecraft, "mass fraction" is normally used, which is the ratio of payload to everything else, including the rocket structure. There is a natural trade-off between the payload and the range of an aircraft. A payload range diagram illustrates the trade-off. The top horizontal line represents the maximum payload. It is limited structurally by maximum zero fuel weight of the aircraft. Maximum payload is the difference between maximum zero-fuel Weight and operational empty weight. Moving left-to-right along the line shows the constant maximum payload as the range increases. More fuel needs to be added for more range. Weight in the fuel tanks in the wings does not contribute as significantly to the bending moment in the wing as does weight in the fuselage. So even when the airplane has been loaded with its maximum payload that the wings can support, it can still carry a significant amount of fuel.
