Crew Weight given Fuel and Empty Weight Fraction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Crew Weight = Desired Takeoff Weight*(1-Empty Weight Fraction-Fuel Fraction)-Payload Carried
W_c = DTW*(1-E_f-F_f)-PYL
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Crew Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Crew Weight is the weight of staff which are required for the functioning of the plane. It contains the weight of Pilots, flight engineer, navigation pilot and airplane staff to serve the passengers.
Desired Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Desired Takeoff Weight (or mass) is the weight of the aircraft.
Empty Weight Fraction - Empty Weight Fraction is the ratio of the operating empty weight to the desired takeoff weight.
Fuel Fraction - Fuel Fraction is the ratio between weight of fuel caried by a plane to the aircraft total take off weight.
Payload Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload Carried (passengers and cargo) is the object or the entity which is being carried by an aircraft or a launch vehicle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Desired Takeoff Weight: 250000 Kilogram --> 250000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Empty Weight Fraction: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Fuel Fraction: 0.4 --> No Conversion Required
Payload Carried: 12400 Kilogram --> 12400 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_c = DTW*(1-E_f-F_f)-PYL --> 250000*(1-0.5-0.4)-12400

Evaluating ... ...

W_c = 12600

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12600 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12600 Kilogram <-- Crew Weight
