Strategies for Increasing Passenger Aircraft Capacity: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

This review explores various strategies to increase the passenger and cargo capacity of aircraft while maintaining safety and efficiency. The study focuses on four main areas of modification: wing structures, center of gravity management, landing gear upgrades, and engine enhancements. We examine the challenges associated with increasing aircraft capacity, including structural limitations, performance impacts, and fuel efficiency concerns. The paper provides insights into potential design modifications that could allow for increased load-carrying capacity in commercial aircraft, potentially leading to improved operational efficiency and profitability in the aviation industry.
