The Pulsar Series II has a typical empty weight of 660 lb (300 kg) and a gross weight of 1,200 lb (540 kg), giving a useful load of 540 lb (240 kg). With full fuel of 17 U.S. gallons (64 L; 14 imp gal) the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is 438 lb (199 kg).

Aircraft engine performance refers to factors including thrust or shaft power for fuel consumed, weight, cost, outside dimensions and life. It includes meeting regulated environmental limits which apply to emissions of noise and chemical pollutants, and regulated safety aspects which require a design that can safely tolerate environmental hazards such as birds, rain, hail and icing conditions.
A sample CG-moment envelope chart, showing that a loaded plane weighing 2,367 lb (1,074 kg) with a moment of 105,200 lb⋅in (11886 N⋅m) is within the "normal category" envelope. Center of gravity (CG) is calculated as follows: Determine weights and arms for all mass within the aircraft. Multiply weights by arms for all mass to calculate moments.
The conversion cost $1.9 million in 2009, resulting in a $3.5-4.6 million value for a converted Citation II. [18] Ceiling is increased from FL 410 to FL 430, reached directly in 25 min at max takeoff weight with a thrust increased from 2,500 to 2,820 lbf (11.1 to 12.5 kN) each. [18]
The logarithmic term with weight ratios is replaced by the direct ratio between / = where is the energy per mass of the battery (e.g. 150-200 Wh/kg for Li-ion batteries), the total efficiency (typically 0.7-0.8 for batteries, motor, gearbox and propeller), / lift over drag (typically around 18), and the weight ratio / typically around 0.3.
