primary factor? - Answer-airplane design group (wingspan)
How is airplane design group determined and

categorized? - Answer-Based on aircraft approach speed;
5 categories, A thru E, where A is the slowest and E is the
fastest
What are the 6 categories of airplane design group? -
Answer-I (tail height <20', wingspan <49'); II (tail height 20
- <30', wingspan 49 - <79'); III (tail height 30 - <45'),
wingspan 79-<118'); IV (tail height 45 - <60', wingspan 118
