Initally I thought this was refering to the fuel load, but from the report I see the fuel load was the same in both cases.

So, what is this 'Service Load'?

Does it have something to do with the ammo load?

Also, I assume this test was for the 87 oct and not the 100 oct?


Any info would be welcome! Thanks in advance!

I think the increased load in the 6750lb test was done by using ballast to simulate the effects of more armour, greater weight from self sealing tanks, internal airframe changes to minimize fire risk and/or full fuel/oil tanks; rather than a variation in ammo load. Also planned advances in avionics such as IFF transponders.
