Most forecasts are for a down-turn from 2017 to 2020.
That and gross weight adjustments.....for example, the Embraer 175 AR and LR mods.
The AR has a gross TO weight of 85,517 and the LR a gross TO of 89,000
The only difference: Some bolt in the wing (minor) and higher ply tires, otherwise the aircraft are identical. Plug these numbers into Deltas scope language
