Relation between useful load and range is worked out by two methods, one involving usual performance estimate, the other based upon theoretical considerations. Among results obtained are the following: Machine should fly at constant angle of attack, angle corresponding to minimum value of (weight)/(total resistance); it is immaterial whether machine flies high or low as far as range is concerned; resistance is proportional to weight at given altitude; and times of flight at same level for flying at best range speed and at minimum power speed are practically the same.
