Payload - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In communications and information science, the payload or mission bit stream is the data, such as a data field, block, or stream, being processed or transported — the part that represents user information and user overhead information. |
 | | In military aircraft or space exploration, the payload is the carrying capacity of an aircraft or space ship, including as cargo, munitions, scientific instruments or experiments, or external fuel, although internal fuel is usually not included. |
 | | Also, with aircraft carrying payload, a trade-off has to be made whether to increase payload or whether to increase the range of the aircraft. |
