Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fuel Weight to be Carried = Desired Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Payload Carried-Crew Weight
FW = DTW-OEW-PYL-W_c
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Fuel Weight to be Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel Weight to be Carried is defined as the total mass of the fuel to be carried (usually includes reserve fuel).
Desired Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Desired Takeoff Weight (or mass) is the weight of the aircraft.
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating Empty Weight of the aircraft is the aircraft's weight without including passengers, baggage, or fuel.
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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Desired Takeoff Weight: 250000 Kilogram --> 250000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Operating Empty Weight: 125000 Kilogram --> 125000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Payload Carried: 12400 Kilogram --> 12400 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Crew Weight: 12600 Kilogram --> 12600 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

FW = DTW-OEW-PYL-W_c --> 250000-125000-12400-12600

Evaluating ... ...

FW = 100000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

100000 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

100000 Kilogram <-- Fuel Weight to be Carried

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Fuel Weight?

The total weight of fuel carried by an aircraft during whole flight is called as fuel weight. The fuel weight varies with the flight, as the fuel is burnt in the engines the weight of fuel reduces.

How to Calculate Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight?

Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight calculator uses Fuel Weight to be Carried = Desired Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Payload Carried-Crew Weight to calculate the Fuel Weight to be Carried, The Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight formula is the weight of the fuel carried by the aircraft at takeoff, it represents the total mass of fuel onboard the aircraft, which is used to power the engines and provide propulsion during the flight, it calculates the fuel weight by multiplying the fuel fraction by the takeoff weight. Fuel Weight to be Carried is denoted by FW symbol.

How to calculate Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight, enter Desired Takeoff Weight (DTW), Operating Empty Weight (OEW), Payload Carried (PYL) & Crew Weight (W_c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Fuel Weight given Takeoff Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 215000 = 250000-125000-12400-12600.
