Seating Capacitys

Quick wonder

I do ever wonder why the manufacturers put bizarre carrying capacity's lol :)

Example - Omnilink

Oh yes but the B7RLE's have something like 40odd standing.

The reason is, its calculated on average weight of humans and strength of chassis etc. I don't think they use space as a contributing factor. Or at least it doesn't seem that way? Tony has already clarified this in another post.

Hmm ok
Did a search but it produce no result lol :) searching for word seating capacity
They assume average weight maybe we all are very thin? :P

MGW - UW = y

Seated Pax + Luggage + Fuel = x

Therefore, y - x = z

z = standing weight

z / average weight of human = Standing Load Volume

I think that's about right.

The Wright Eclipse 2s state a standing capacity of 52. As I stated in the other thread, I'm not sure where this people are expected to stand safely, due to the positioning of the grab-rails. I just got off a 37, with about 15 people standing, including myself, and that was quite uncomfortable.

Was it a B7RLE you were on?

Yes, one of AG's Wright Eclipse 2s.  ;)

Indeed. And when it had those loadings they were properly full. Tridents are about right with the loadings as well.
