Maximum take off weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight)))
MTOW = W_P/(1-((W_E/W_TO)+(W_f/W_TO)))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Take Off Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Maximum Take Off Weight is the maximum load, an aircraft can lift during takeoff.
Payload - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload of a passenger aircraft is the total weight of cargo plus additional passengers being carried in the airplane.
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating Empty Weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage.
Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off.
Fuel Load - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel Load may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Payload: 6866 Kilogram --> 6866 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Operating Empty Weight: 8890 Kilogram --> 8890 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Takeoff Weight: 45000 Kilogram --> 45000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Fuel Load: 28244 Kilogram --> 28244 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

MTOW = W_P/(1-((W_E/W_TO)+(W_f/W_TO))) --> 6866/(1-((8890/45000)+(28244/45000)))

Evaluating ... ...

MTOW = 39279.176201373

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

39279.176201373 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

39279.176201373 ≈ 39279.18 Kilogram <-- Maximum Take Off Weight

What is the maximum certificated takeoff weight?

Maximum certificated takeoff weight means the maximum takeoff weight authorized by the terms of the aircraft airworthiness certificate. This weight may be found in the airplane operating record or in the airplane flight manual that is incorporated by regulation into the airworthiness certificate.

How to Calculate Maximum take off weight?

Maximum take off weight calculator uses Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight))) to calculate the Maximum Take Off Weight, The Maximum Take Off Weight formula is defined as (MTOM), often referred to as the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), of an aircraft, it is a value defined by the aircraft manufacturer. It is the maximum mass at which the aircraft is certified for take-off due to structural or other limits. Maximum Take Off Weight is denoted by MTOW symbol.

How to calculate Maximum take off weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum take off weight, enter Payload (W_P), Operating Empty Weight (W_E), Takeoff Weight (W_TO) & Fuel Load (W_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum take off weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 45000 = 6866/(1-((8890/45000)+(28244/45000))).

FAQ

What is Maximum take off weight?

The Maximum Take Off Weight formula is defined as (MTOM), often referred to as the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), of an aircraft, it is a value defined by the aircraft manufacturer. It is the maximum mass at which the aircraft is certified for take-off due to structural or other limits and is represented as MTOW = W_P/(1-((W_E/W_TO)+(W_f/W_TO))) or Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight))). Payload of a passenger aircraft is the total weight of cargo plus additional passengers being carried in the airplane, Operating Empty Weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage, Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off & Fuel Load may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.

How to calculate Maximum take off weight?

The Maximum Take Off Weight formula is defined as (MTOM), often referred to as the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), of an aircraft, it is a value defined by the aircraft manufacturer. It is the maximum mass at which the aircraft is certified for take-off due to structural or other limits is calculated using Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight))). To calculate Maximum take off weight, you need Payload (W_P), Operating Empty Weight (W_E), Takeoff Weight (W_TO) & Fuel Load (W_f). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Payload, Operating Empty Weight, Takeoff Weight & Fuel Load and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
