Variables Used

Loiter Weight Fraction for Jet aircraft - Loiter Weight Fraction for Jet aircraft is the ratio of weight of aircraft at the end of loiter phase to weight of aircraft at beginning of loiter phase.
Endurance of Aircraft - (Measured in Second) - Endurance of Aircraft is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in cruising flight.
Specific Fuel Consumption - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Watt) - Specific Fuel Consumption is a characteristic of the engine and defined as the weight of fuel consumed per unit power per unit time.
Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio - The Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio is the highest ratio of lift force to drag force that an aircraft can achieve.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Endurance of Aircraft: 452.0581 Second --> 452.0581 Second No Conversion Required
Specific Fuel Consumption: 0.6 Kilogram per Hour per Watt --> 0.000166666666666667 Kilogram per Second per Watt (Check conversion here)
Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio: 5.081527 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_loiter(jet) = exp(((-1)*E*c)/LDmax_ratio) --> exp(((-1)*452.0581*0.000166666666666667)/5.081527)

Evaluating ... ...

F_loiter(jet) = 0.985282530756293

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.985282530756293 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.985282530756293 ≈ 0.985283 <-- Loiter Weight Fraction for Jet aircraft

What is Loiter?

In aeronautics and aviation, loiter is the phase of flight consisting of flying over some small region.
In general aviation, the loiter phase generally occurs at the end of the flight, when the plane is waiting for clearance to land. In military flights, such as aerial reconnaissance or ground-attack aircraft, the loiter phase is the time that the aircraft has over a target. Cruise is the time period the aircraft travels to the target and returns after the loiter.
