Raymer

Collection of aircraft weight estimation methods based on Raymer’s empirical correlations for a transport aircraft. This module provides component weight estimation functions including wing, tail, fuselage, landing gear, and systems weights. The correlations are primarily derived from historical aircraft data as presented in Raymer’s “Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach”.
