It is more efficient for jet aircraft to use a cruise climb profile maintaining constant lift to drag ratio and Mach number. Gordon Vigurs 10:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Range data from some aircraft type/models

Wouldn't it be useful to have a small list with some of the absolute ranges that different of the most common aircraft types are capable of? Ellamosi 16:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] combat range

Many Wikipedia entries give 'combat range' which I assume is the range with a given standard payload? --Mrg3105 08:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Combat radius, as the name implies, refers to military aircraft, which fly mission profiles dictated by operational constraints, rather than cruise efficiency, which is the principal consideration in this article.Gordon Vigurs 17:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
