747 vs DC-10 Limitations
Hello all!
Some years ago I read somewhere that the DC-10 is volume limited in the sence that with some freight(?) it reaches its maximum take off weight before it reaches its cargo capacity.
In the contraty the 747 can take reach its maximum take off weight and use all the available space in the aircraft.
The context was on why the Boeing 747 gave a big boost on the cargo industry and is a better freighter regarding express courrier like FED EX and UPS.
So the question is DC-10 volume limited and the 747 weight limited? I am not sure if I make sence!
