Gross weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight
W_G = W_E+W_U
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Gross Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Gross Weight of Aircraft refers to the total weight of an aircraft, including its structure, payload (such as passengers, cargo, and fuel), and any additional equipment or provisions.
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating Empty Weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage.
Useful Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Useful Weight refers to the portion of the aircraft's total weight that is available for carrying payload, passengers, and cargo, excluding the weight of the structure and essential equipment.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Operating Empty Weight: 8890 Kilogram --> 8890 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Useful Weight: 7865 Kilogram --> 7865 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_G = W_E+W_U --> 8890+7865

Evaluating ... ...

W_G = 16755

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16755 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16755 Kilogram <-- Gross Weight

What is Gross weight?

The gross weight is the total weight of the goods carried, including all packaging but excluding the tare weight of the transport unit. The tare weight is the weight of a transport unit before any cargo is loaded.

How to Calculate Gross weight?

Gross weight calculator uses Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight to calculate the Gross Weight, The gross weight (GW) – that is, the all-up weight (AUW) of an operating aircraft – is subject to variations. The GW at take-off is the take-off weight (TOW), composed of the nominally constant3 operating empty weight (OEW) and the useful load (UL). Gross Weight is denoted by W_G symbol.

How to calculate Gross weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Gross weight, enter Operating Empty Weight (W_E) & Useful Weight (W_U) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Gross weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 16755 = 8890+7865.

FAQ

What is Gross weight?

The gross weight (GW) – that is, the all-up weight (AUW) of an operating aircraft – is subject to variations. The GW at take-off is the take-off weight (TOW), composed of the nominally constant3 operating empty weight (OEW) and the useful load (UL) and is represented as W_G = W_E+W_U or Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight. Operating Empty Weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage & Useful Weight refers to the portion of the aircraft's total weight that is available for carrying payload, passengers, and cargo, excluding the weight of the structure and essential equipment.

How to calculate Gross weight?

The gross weight (GW) – that is, the all-up weight (AUW) of an operating aircraft – is subject to variations. The GW at take-off is the take-off weight (TOW), composed of the nominally constant3 operating empty weight (OEW) and the useful load (UL) is calculated using Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight. To calculate Gross weight, you need Operating Empty Weight (W_E) & Useful Weight (W_U). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Operating Empty Weight & Useful Weight and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
