Aircraft have greatly changed over the last decades, mainly due to astonishing developments in key technological areas. The present note attempts to correlate the evolution of jet airliners with improvements in aerodynamics and propulsion. A simple model is elaborated from the range equation, taking the main magnitudes of the payload—range diagram as input data. Results show the robustness and potential of such procedures.
