Overloaded A330

[MatsH]

Hello again!
I've done some research on the internet and compared it to the PSS A330 aircrafts and I have come up with the following:

A330-200

REAL WORLD AIRCRAFT
Empty: 120.520 Kg.
Max. zero-fuel weight:170.070 Kg.
Fuel: 139.090 liter. (111.670 Kg)
Max. payload: 48.988 Kg.

Max. take off weight: 239.950 Kg.
Max. landing weight: 181.982 Kg

PSS AIRCRAFT
Empty: 120.450 Kg.
Fuel: 139.300 liter. (111.830 Kg)

Max. take off weight: 231.400 Kg.


A330-300

REAL WORLD AIRCRAFT
Empty: 124.512 Kg.
Max. zero-fuel weight:174.997 Kg.
Fuel: 97.530 liter. (78.010 Kg)
Max. payload: 50.304 Kg.

Max. take off weight: 239.950 Kg.
Max. landing weight: 187.017 Kg.

PSS AIRCRAFT
Empty: 120.450 Kg.
Fuel: 139.300 liter. (111.830 Kg)

Max. take off weight: 231.400 Kg.

As you can see the PSS A330-300 have to large fueltanks (139.300 liter compared to 97.530 liter). I have written a post on the PSS
support-forum about this but haven't got an answer yet. Other than that the numbers are fairly close to eachother.

Also it seems that a fully fueled A330-200 is very close to MTOW without any passengers or cargo, so that apperars to be accurate.

I've got the real world data from the following site: http://www.zap16.com/civ%20fact/civ%20airbus%20a330.htm .
I don't know if it's 100% accurate but I suppose it's reasonably close anyway. So far I haven't done any compares of the A340.

I don't know if this is of any interest to you but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Have a nice day .... Mats
