I think load[-bearing] capacity will work, since it comprises things other than just weight.

Thanks to all of you for your input.

Belastungsfähigkeit
(bzgl. Vogelschlag): bird ingestion capability


Explanation:
With the context not being "load capacity" (see asker's note), maybe this helps:

Vogelschlag -> bird ingestion, see FAA or DoD pages, Boeing.

In its library, the FAA itself uses:

[The JAA position statement notes that the dual engine power loss and shutdown rate is marginally acceptable today. This proposed rule requires 2.5 lb. medium flocking birds and 6 to 8 lb. large single birds, depending on inlet size, both of which are more severe demonstrations, and which the FAA believes can only improve the overall worldwide fleet] bird ingestion capability.

Capability seems to be used generically for Belastbarkeit in the context, and "Vogelschlag" is "bird ingestion".

Hope this helps a little.
