Talk:List of airliners by maximum takeoff weight

COMAC ARJ21
The COMAC ARJ21 is a Chinese regional jet airliner that is currently undergoing flight testing. I just wanted to make sure it would be appropriate to add it to the list before I edited the page. Shane Stachwick (talk) 16:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Unit and consistency
MTOW is given in pounds while MLW is given in metric tonne. May be we should have values in both unit. --PierreSelim (talk) 10:14, 7 July 2014 (UTC)


 * MTOW has been changed from pounds to kg, but MLW is still in metric tonnes (incorrectly spelled tons). Unless anyone objects, I will convert MLW to kg.    Comfr (talk) 18:09, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

757
Isn´t the Boeing 757 considered "Heavy" (ICAO) due to her excessive wake vortex (despite being lighter than 300.000 lb)? 46.114.47.45 (talk) 09:40, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Never built
I removed the two "never built" Airbus entries from the table. Is there a reason to have them in the table? If they were never built then they never existed, and their maximum takeoff weight is imaginary! Perhaps there is some subtlety that I am missing, but if so a note needs to be added to their table entries to explain why they are in the table. Nick Beeson (talk) 23:15, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Cargo capacity
Interesting article, thanks! I'd have thought (but I am certainly not an aviation expert) that another interesting stat would be the maximum cargo capacity, which is presumably the maximum landing weight minus the empty weight. So it would be nice to have either the empty weight or the maximum cargo capacity (or both) in the table. --Macrakis (talk) 21:01, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Tonnes
Why is MTOW given in kg and MLK in tonnes (presumably metric tonnes = megagrams)? As suggested by two years ago, they should be consistent. I think I prefer tonnes to kg, rounded to the nearest tonne, except for those under 10 tonnes (so 151, 49, and 9.7 tonnes). After all, it's not as though anyone is going to be using these figures for critical operations, so more precision than that is pedantic and superfluous... especially since a lot of the numbers already look like they're rounded to the nearest thousand or hundred kg. --Macrakis (talk) 21:09, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
