As an alternative, we could base a second design of the transverse Mercator projection modulo
an unknown dilatation factor ρ on a minimal total areal distortion over a meridian strip [ l W ,l E ]

[ B S ,B N ] between a longitudinal extension L W and L E and a latitudinal extension B S and B N ,in
particular, the distortion measure ( 15.106 ) with respect to principal distortions Λ 1 and Λ 2 ,and
the spheroidal surface element. But surprisingly, it does not differ from the one of the previous
corollary, the optimal Airy design, see Corollary 15.8 , the proof of which we want to leave to the
reader.

Corollary 15.8 (The dilatation factor for an optimal universal transverse Mercator projection,
the zero total distortion).
[ B S ,B N ] of type universal trans-
verse Mercator projection, the postulate of minimal total distance distortion (Airy optimum)
and the postulate of minimal total areal distortion lead to the same unknown dilatation factor
