Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel
W_f = W_TO-W_ZF-W_RF
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Fuel Load - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel load may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.
Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off.
Zero Fuel Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Zero fuel weight (ZFW) is the weight of the aircraft with payload on board and empty fuel tanks.
Reserve Fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Reserve fuel is the extra fuel for maneuvering, holding, aborting the landing and making a diversion flight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Takeoff Weight: 45000 Kilogram --> 45000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Zero Fuel Weight: 15756 Kilogram --> 15756 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Reserve Fuel: 1000 Kilogram --> 1000 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_f = W_TO-W_ZF-W_RF --> 45000-15756-1000

Evaluating ... ...

W_f = 28244

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

28244 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

28244 Kilogram <-- Fuel Load

Maximum take off weight

Go Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight)))

Operating empty weight from unity equation

Go Operating Empty Weight = Takeoff Weight-(Payload+Fuel Load)

Fuel load from unity equation

Go Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-(Operating Empty Weight+Payload)

Take off weight from Unity equation

Go Takeoff Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Payload+Fuel Load

Payload weight from Unity equation

Go Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load

Zero fuel weight given mission fuel, reserve and take off weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Takeoff Weight-Fuel Load-Reserve Fuel

Take off weight given reserve, mission and zero fuel weight

Go Takeoff Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel+Fuel Load

Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight

Go Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel

Operating empty weight

Go Operating Empty Weight = Gross Weight-Useful Weight

Gross weight

Go Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight

Useful load

Go Useful Weight = Gross Weight-Operating Empty Weight

Operating empty weight considering zero fuel weight

Go Operating Empty Weight = Zero Fuel Weight-Payload

Payload of aircraft

Go Payload = Zero Fuel Weight-Operating Empty Weight

Zero fuel weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Payload

Landing weight given zero fuel weight and reserve fuel weight

Go Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel

Zero fuel weight given reserve and landing weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Landing Weight-Reserve Fuel

Landing weight given take off weight and mission fuel weight

Go Landing Weight = Takeoff Weight-Fuel Load

Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight Formula

Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel
W_f = W_TO-W_ZF-W_RF

What is basic operating weight of an aircraft?

Basic Operating Weight (BOW) Total weight of the aircraft, including crew, ready for flight, but without payload or fuel (sometimes excludes the crew).

How to Calculate Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight?

Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight calculator uses Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel to calculate the Fuel Load, The Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight formula allows you to determine the amount of fuel needed specifically for the mission, after accounting for the weight of the aircraft without fuel (zero fuel weight) and any reserve fuel required for contingencies. Fuel Load is denoted by W_f symbol.

How to calculate Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight using this online calculator?

Here is how the Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 28128 = 45000-15756-1000.

FAQ

What is Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight?

The Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight formula allows you to determine the amount of fuel needed specifically for the mission, after accounting for the weight of the aircraft without fuel (zero fuel weight) and any reserve fuel required for contingencies and is represented as W_f = W_TO-W_ZF-W_RF or Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel. Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off, Zero fuel weight (ZFW) is the weight of the aircraft with payload on board and empty fuel tanks & Reserve fuel is the extra fuel for maneuvering, holding, aborting the landing and making a diversion flight.

How to calculate Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight?

The Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight formula allows you to determine the amount of fuel needed specifically for the mission, after accounting for the weight of the aircraft without fuel (zero fuel weight) and any reserve fuel required for contingencies is calculated using Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel. To calculate Mission fuel given take off, reserve and zero fuel weight, you need Takeoff Weight (W_TO), Zero Fuel Weight (W_ZF) & Reserve Fuel (W_RF). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Takeoff Weight, Zero Fuel Weight & Reserve Fuel and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Fuel Load?

In this formula, Fuel Load uses Takeoff Weight, Zero Fuel Weight & Reserve Fuel. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-(Operating Empty Weight+Payload)
