Which variant has the higher maximum taxi and ramp weight?

• A. Variant 700
• B. Variant 900
• C. Both are the same
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that different aircraft variants often have different weight limits on the ground. The ramp (or taxi) weight is the maximum allowed weight when the plane is moving on the ground, and it’s set based on the aircraft’s structure and ground-operations capabilities. A heavier variant, typically with a longer fuselage or more fuel and payload capacity, is designed to support more weight, so its maximum taxi and ramp weight is higher. The lighter variant is limited to a lower ground weight.

So, the variant that’s heavier—the one with greater capacity—will have the higher maximum taxi and ramp weight. The lighter version wouldn’t reach that higher limit, and the information isn’t suggesting they’re the same or unspecified.
