Which airliners can take off from DCA

DCA's longest runway, 01/19, is 7,169 ft.

Of the 55 airliners in PlaneRange, 22 can take off at maximum takeoff weight, 31 can leave with an 80% load but less fuel and 2 cannot lift an 80% load.

The runway costs the Airbus A380-800 the most. It needs 10,506 ft at maximum weight here, so at 80% load it leaves with less fuel and flies 703 nm instead of 8,513 nm.

At maximum landing weight on a dry runway, Airbus A340-600 needs more runway than DCA has to land.
