Operating empty weight considering zero fuel weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Operating Empty Weight = Zero Fuel Weight-Payload
W_E = W_ZF-W_P
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating empty weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage.
Zero Fuel Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Zero fuel weight (ZFW) is the weight of the aircraft with payload on board and empty fuel tanks.
Payload - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload of a passenger aircraft is the total weight of cargo plus additional passengers being carried in the airplane.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Zero Fuel Weight: 15756 Kilogram --> 15756 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Payload: 6866 Kilogram --> 6866 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_E = W_ZF-W_P --> 15756-6866

Evaluating ... ...

W_E = 8890

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8890 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8890 Kilogram <-- Operating Empty Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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

Operating empty weight considering zero fuel weight Formula

Operating Empty Weight = Zero Fuel Weight-Payload
W_E = W_ZF-W_P
