How do aircraft manufactures determine the maximum gross weight for a
given plane?


The prototype is fitted with a water bladder and is flown in formation
with a tanker. The bladder is slowly filled with water until the plane
drops out of the sky. A gauge in the tanker indicates the max gross
weight of the new design.
