Abstract
This paper presents a procedure for calculating minimum and maximum cargo weights for aircraft with three cargo compartments. For a given number of passengers and a given amount of cargo, this procedure distributes the cargo load to each of three compartments in such a manner that the balance limits are never exceeded. A mathematical analysis is used to determine the intersection of the cargo vectors. One compartment is limited to a constant load by volume or structural limits while the quantities in the other two are determined.
