Abstract
This paper is a presentation of two items: A Net Performance Analysis approach as a tool and application of that tool to help understand scale tolerance limits. A Net Performance Analysis (NPA) is a procedure which measures performance variables’ impact on the ability of an airplane to fly a mission. Having developed that, the impact of any one variable-scale tolerance in this case-can be quantitatively assessed. Results support the conclusion that scale tolerance has an order of magnitude smaller effect than any other flight variable in assuring mission success.
