Unreferenced date March 2009 Astrodynamics navbar In aerospace engineering , payload fraction is a common term used to characterize the efficiency of a particular design. Payload fraction is calculated by dividing the weight of the payload by the weight of the otherwise empty aircraft when fully fueled. Fuel represents a considerable amount of the overall takeoff weight, and for shorter trips it is quite common to load less fuel in order to carry a lighter load. For this reason the useful load fraction calculates a similar number, but based on the combined weight of the payload and fuel together. Propeller driven airliner s had useful load fractions on the order of 25 35 . Modern jet engine jet powered airliners have considerably higher useful load fractions, on the order of 45 55 . For spacecraft the payload fraction is often less than 1 , while the useful load fraction is perhaps 90 . In this case the useful load fraction is not a useful term, because spacecraft typically can t reach orbit without a full fuel load. For this reason the related term mass fraction , is used instead. However, if the latter is large, the payload can only be small. Examples Mass fraction table Note the above table may incorrectly include the mass of the empty upper stage or stages.

Payload abstraction is the ability to send a payload the document or request object sent to a Service without regard to what protocol might be configured. This architectural abstraction is made necessary due to Transport protocol abstraction , which is the capability of switching protocols at runtime through the use of a configuration file. The fact that different protocols allow different data types may lead to problems in payload definition. That is, a system must either determine at design time all possible service protocol implementations that might be used by their service for all time, or a payload must be designed with least common denominator data types. For example, a Java based direct call Service Protocol implementation would likely allow any Java type to be sent. A JMS Service Protocol implementation might allow only a subset of these types. An XML RPC Service Protocol implementation might allow an even more limited subset of types. In order to dynamically switch from one protocol to another, the payload design must implement only the simplest types which all protocols will accept without error, or use Payload Abstraction. A description of example implementations of Payload Abstraction, from the elemenope User Guide blockquote Doppelganger extension Doppelganger is an extension to the elemenope Framework which requires an XML schema definition for the payload.

Its payload is designed to be delivered to very high altitude rather than at ground targets. A command missile might function as part of a mutually assured destruction scenario. In the event of a nuclear first strike being detected, the defending nation launches command missiles, which command retaliation from friendly units. Thus, retaliation is assured even if the nation s leadership, military chain of command, and communications infrastructure are destroyed by the first strike. The United States operated a command missile system known as the Emergency Rocket Communications System ERCS .
