Variables Used
Desired Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Desired Takeoff Weight (or mass) is the weight of the aircraft.
Payload Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload Carried (passengers and cargo) is the object or the entity which is being carried by an aircraft or a launch vehicle.
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating Empty Weight of the Aircraft is the weight of the aircraft without including passengers, baggage, or fuel.
Fuel Weight to be Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel Weight to be Carried is defined as the total mass of the fuel to be carried (usually includes reserve fuel).
Crew Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Crew Weight is the weight of staff which are required for the functioning of the plane. It contains the weight of Pilots, flight engineer, navigation pilot and airplane staff to serve the passengers.

What is maximum takeoff weight MTOW?

An aircraft has a range of weights from minimum to maximum depending upon the number of pilots and crew, fuel, and payloads (passengers, loads, luggage, and cargo). As the aircraft flies, the fuel is burning and the aircraft weight is decreasing. The most important weight in the design of an aircraft is the maximum allowable weight of the aircraft during take-off operation. This is also referred to as the all-up weight. The design MTOW is the total weight of an aircraft when it begins the mission for which it was designed. The maximum design take-off weight is not necessarily the same as the maximum nominal take-off weight, since some aircraft can be overloaded beyond design weight in an emergency situation, but will suffer reduced performance and reduced stability. Unless specifically stated, MTOW is the design weight. It means every aircraft component (e.g., wing, tail) is designed to support this weight.
