Ferry range is the absolute maximum distance an aircraft can fly. To achieve this ceiling, flights are conducted under highly specific, stripped-down conditions that prioritize fuel efficiency over utility. Unlike standard operations, a ferry flight carries virtually zero payload;meaning no passengers, cargo, luggage, or military ordnance. Instead, the aircraft's entire weight capacity is dedicated exclusively to carrying maximum fuel alongside the minimal crew required for safe operation.
