4.5.1.6 efficient payload control

Efficient payload control refers to logistical and mechanical systems designed to optimize the distribution, packing, and balance of cargo and passengers. Maintaining an optimal center of gravity throughout the flight reduces trim drag and minimizes fuel burn. Challenges in developing these systems lie in creating automated loading algorithms that can dynamically interface with real-time cargo databases.
