LOAD FACTOR

Load factor may refer to:Capacity factor, the ratio of the actual output of a power plant over a period of time and its output if it had operated a full capacity of that time periodLoad factor (aerodynamics), n, is the vector expressed by the ratio of the resulting mass force acting on an aircraft and the weight of the aircraft, where W is the weight of the aircraft and Fi is the inertia forceLoad factor (aviation), the ratio of revenue passenger miles to available seat miles of a particular flight.Load factor (computer science), the ratio of the number of records to the number of addresses or indexes within a data structure, see hash tableLoad factor (electrical) is the average power divided by the peak power over a period of time, see demand factorLoad factor (structural) is a number by which a specified load is multiplied to determine the required design load, see dead load, live load and structural design

Noun
1. (aeronautics) the ratio of an external load to the weight of the aircraft (measured in g)
(hypernym) ratio
(classification) aeronautics, astronautics

The ratio of the average load over a designated period of time to the peak load occurring during that period. (188 )

A term relating the potential capacity of a system relative to its actual performance. Is often calculated as total passenger miles divided by total vehicle miles. (DOE6)

The percentage of seating or freight capacity which is utilized. (ATAB1)

The ratio of a specified load to the total weight of the aircraft. The specified load is expressed in terms of any of the following: aerodynamic forces, inertia forces, or ground or water reactions. (14CFR1)
