The AG600's published capacity of fifty rescued people, or a substantial load of water, is treated cautiously. A possible military application would be carrying a sizeable body of troops. Judging from photographs and dimensions, its passenger capacity might exceed fifty, but this is only a rough estimate. One suggested explanation for a lower capacity is unusually heavy structure intended to withstand rough landings. Both the larger troop load and that structural explanation remain conjectural.

AG600 payload and rough-landing tradeoffs
A tentative estimate of the AG600's carrying capacity leads to a possible tradeoff between troop payload and structure strong enough for rough landings.
