Find out the design take-off gross weight of the aircraft, given 95lb empty weight.(a) 530lb(b) 241lb(c) 435lb(d) 500lbI got this question in semester exam.Query is from Conceptual Sketch Sizing topic in portion Conceptual Sketch Sizing of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) 530lb

The explanation: GIVEN,

Crew LOAD = 115lb

Payload weight = 220lb

Fuel weight = 100lb

Empty weight = 95lb

Now, the design take – off GROSS weight is given by,

W0 = WCREW + Wpayload + Wfuel + Wempty

W0 = 115+220+100+95

So, W0 = 530lb.
