A mini-UAV manufacturer claims a “2 kg payload capacity,” but includes AFCS sensors and radio components in that figure. What should an evaluator do first before accepting the claim?
30
Reduce the claimed payload by half for safety margins
Assume the stated payload mass excludes avionics items
Compare the claim only with the aircraft’s empty weight
Clarify which systems are counted in the payload mass

A client wants a UAV for crop-spraying. Which interpretation of “payload” best matches the lecture definition?
30
The control station plus all aircraft support systems
Only the chemical spray fluid carried for release
The tank, pump, beams, nozzles, and spray fluid system
The full aircraft mass including wings and propulsion
