737 Cargo Capacities

[joefremont]

I was looking at some of the cargo capacities we have for the passenger versions of the Boeing 737 we have in our database, and they seam all over the map. This is what we have for them right now (weights in KG) and what they would be if we calculated them using the 250kg per cubic meter rule (I got the volumes from the Boeing airport planning docs).



Unless someone has a good reason, or a better reference as to what they should be I propose we change them all to the values I put in the second list. An objections?

Some big differences there... No objections from me Joe, they look far more realistic.

No objections here, wonder why the originals were so out of whack and could it be worth looking at other families like A320?

I did just update the cargo cap for passenger 737's. I took a quick look at the A320 numbers, they are not as wild as the 737 numbers were, but I would need to studdy it more before any action as a number of the long range versions place fuel tanks in the cargo bay which impacts the cargo volume.
