Answer»

Correct option is (a) OPERATING envelope will give same values for all the aircraft

For explanation: LOAD FACTOR is defined as ratio of lift to weight. At cruise lift and weight both are equal. HENCE, at cruise load factor is unity. Wing loading and THRUST are two different things. Wing loading is ratio of weight by reference area.
