German term or phrase: Traggewicht
Hey there,

Translating a native German speaker translation of a commcercial and technical invitation to tender from Spain done from Spanish.

I have no information whatsoever about the translator's technical subject matter expertise or research skills
but do think he or she is a pro translator and I know that they have Spanish to German as a main language pair.

Die Möglichkeit, das ***Traggewicht*** der Triebwerksgondeln zu erhöhen, wobei das Mindestgewicht der PPT zu entnehmen ist

How would you translate Traggewicht or what you as a technical translator with knowledge in aviation or otherwise, research expert understand it should really say there, into English?

Draft translation:
The option to increase the ***carrying capacity*** of the engine nacelles, wherein the minimum weight shall be inferred from the PPT.

Cheers,
