Raymer, Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach (pg 461 in 4th edition)
- Inputs:
V_fuel - total fuel volume [meters**3] V_int - internal fuel volume [meters**3] N_tank - number of fuel tanks [dimensionless] N_eng - number of engines [dimensionless] span - wingspan [meters] TOW - gross takeoff weight of the aircraft [kg] num_seats - total number of seats on the aircraft [dimensionless] mach_number - mach number [dimensionless] has_air_conditioner - integer of 1 if the vehicle has ac, 0 if not
- Outputs:
- output - a data dictionary with fields:
W_flight_controls - weight of the flight control system [kilograms] W_apu - weight of the apu [kilograms] W_hyd_pnu - weight of the hydraulics and pneumatics [kilograms] W_avionics - weight of the avionics [kilograms] W_opitems - weight of the optional items based on the type of aircraft [kilograms] W_electrical - weight of the electrical items [kilograms] W_ac - weight of the air conditioning and anti-ice system [kilograms] W_furnish - weight of the furnishings in the fuselage [kilograms]
