Payload weight from Unity equation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load
W_P = W_TO-W_E-W_f
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Payload - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload of a passenger aircraft is the total weight of cargo plus additional passengers being carried in the airplane.
Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off.
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating empty weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage.
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

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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_P = W_TO-W_E-W_f --> 45000-8890-28244

Evaluating ... ...

W_P = 7866

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7866 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7866 Kilogram <-- Payload

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

Payload weight from Unity equation Formula

Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load
W_P = W_TO-W_E-W_f

How do you calculate aircraft payload weight?

Subtract the basic empty weight and fuel from the maximum weight. Check the aircraft's weight and balance sheet and find the maximum allowable gross weight of the aircraft. Then, find the basic empty weight value and subtract that from the max weight to get your “useful load” weight.

How to Calculate Payload weight from Unity equation?

Payload weight from Unity equation calculator uses Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load to calculate the Payload, The Payload weight from Unity equation essentially accounts for the weight of the aircraft at takeoff and then removes the weight contributed by the operating empty weight (the weight of the aircraft without passengers, cargo, or fuel) and the fuel load, the remaining weight represents the payload weight, which includes passengers, cargo, and any other items carried on board the aircraft. Payload is denoted by W_P symbol.

How to calculate Payload weight from Unity equation using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Payload weight from Unity equation, enter Takeoff Weight (W_TO), Operating Empty Weight (W_E) & Fuel Load (W_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Payload weight from Unity equation calculation can be explained with given input values -> 7866 = 45000-8890-28244.

FAQ

What is Payload weight from Unity equation?

The Payload weight from Unity equation essentially accounts for the weight of the aircraft at takeoff and then removes the weight contributed by the operating empty weight (the weight of the aircraft without passengers, cargo, or fuel) and the fuel load, the remaining weight represents the payload weight, which includes passengers, cargo, and any other items carried on board the aircraft and is represented as W_P = W_TO-W_E-W_f or Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load. Takeoff Weight is the total weight of the aircraft during take-off, Operating empty weight is the sum of the empty weight and the crew plus their baggage & Fuel load may be available fuel (consumable fuel) or total fuel and is usually dry weight.

How to calculate Payload weight from Unity equation?

The Payload weight from Unity equation essentially accounts for the weight of the aircraft at takeoff and then removes the weight contributed by the operating empty weight (the weight of the aircraft without passengers, cargo, or fuel) and the fuel load, the remaining weight represents the payload weight, which includes passengers, cargo, and any other items carried on board the aircraft is calculated using Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load. To calculate Payload weight from Unity equation, you need Takeoff Weight (W_TO), Operating Empty Weight (W_E) & Fuel Load (W_f). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Takeoff Weight, Operating Empty Weight & Fuel Load 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 Payload?

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

Payload = Zero Fuel Weight-Operating Empty Weight
