Limit load
Encyclopedia
The nominal or limit load Bn is the load which should only occur once (or only a very few times) during the lifetime of an aircraft
.
The limit load can be found relatively easily by statistically analysing the data collected during the many hours of logged flights (which is continuously being gathered).
Bn may therefore only occur once during (e.g.) 60,000 hours of flying.
Aircraft
An aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or, in general, the atmosphere of a planet. An aircraft counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines.Although...
