Compared to the prior-art transports, CPTA's total useful load (UL) (payload and fuel),
represents a much higher percentage of gross take-off weight (GTOW).
- CPTA's total UL equals more that 85% of its gross take-off weight (GTOW), vs. less than 50% on
average of a tradition transport aircraft's GTOW.

- The CPTA will lift more than 5x its own weight; vs. 1x, or less, the lift capacity of traditional transports.
