    Weight Estimation of Aircraft

    To estimate the overall weight of the aircraft by using the

    weight fraction method

    Requirements:

    Crew Weight

    Payload Weight

    And other constant values

    Need of Estimation of Weight:

    The first technical step in the designing of the aircraft is to

    estimate the weight. In order to design an aircraft to our desired

    performance we have to know the weight of the aircraft. According

    to that weight we can move to next step in designing the aircraft.

    Weight Estimation:

    The overall weight of the aircraft is calculated by using the

    following formulae.

    The overall weight is taken as W0

    W0 = Wcrew + Wpayload + Wfuel + Wempty

    Substituting,

    Wf = (Wf / W0) * W0 ; and We = (We / W0) * W0 in the above

    equation, we arrive at a equation like this,

    W0 = (Wcrew + Wpayload) /(1 - (Wf/ W0) - (We / W0))

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    12/55

    Where,

    Wf= Fuel Weight

    We = Empty Weight

    (Wf/ W0) = Fuel Fraction

    (We / W0) = Empty Weight Fraction

    Empty Weight Fraction (We / W0) :

    Empty Weight fraction ranges from 0.3 to 0.7, so we choose

    a compromised value of 0.50 which is for a Air superiority Fighter

    type Aircraft.

    Estimation of Fuel Fraction(Wf / W0) :

    Before estimating the fuel fraction, we have to choose the

    typical mission profile as follows

    Typical Mission Profile:

    Each segment of the mission profile is associated with a

    weight fraction, defined as the airplane weight at the end of the

    segment divided by the weight at the beginning of the segment.

    0 to 1 = Engine start, warm up and taxing

    1 to 2 = Take off

    2 to 3 = Climb

    3 to 4 = Cruse speed at 250.34 m/s

    4 to 5 = Loiter maximum 20 minutes

    5 to 6 = Descend for initial approach

    6 to 7 = Land at airbase

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    13/55

    The fuel fraction can be found through the following formulae

    (Wf/ W0) = 1Mff

    Where Mffis mass per fuel fraction

    Mff= (W1 / W0) * (W2 / W1) * (W3/ W2).

    This continues until the path of the mission gets completed.

    The constant profile for the weight estimation during the warm up,

    taxing, take off, climbing, descend and landing. In order to find the

    fuel fraction we need to calculate the weight ratio for the cruise and

    loiter.

    At Engine start, warm up and taxing (0 1):

    Beginning weight is W0 and Ending weight is W1

    Therefor the weight ratio is (W1 / W0) = 0.99

    At Take off (1

    2):

    Smillarly here (W2 / W1) = 0.97

    At Climb (23):

    (W3/ W2) = 0.985

    At Cruise Speed (3 4):

    We need to use Brequent range equation to find the weight

    ratio in cruise speed

    (W4/ W3) = e-(RC / V (L / D))

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    14/55

    Where,

    R = range of the aircraft in meter

    C = specific fuel consumption in kg/kg s

    V = cruise speed of the aircraft in m/s (which is 250.34 m/s)

    (L/D) = maximum lift to drag ratio

    C = 0.5 lb/lbhr for a turbofan engine as reffered in Aircraft

    Conceptual Design Book

    Therefore,

    C = 0.000222 kg/kg sRange = 2000 miles

    = 3218688 m.

    (L/D) = 12 for fighter aircraft

    (W4/ W3) = e-((3218688*0.000222)/(250.34*12))

    (W4/ W3) = 0.7034451

    In Loiter (4 5):

    (W5/ W4) = e-(EC / (L / D))

    Where,

    E = Endurance or Loiter time

    E = 1200 sC = 0.000222 kg / kg s

    (L/D) = 12

    (W5/ W4) = e-((1200*0.000222) /12)

    (W5/ W4) = 0.978044606

    At Descend (5 6):

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    15/55

    (W6/ W5) = 0.993

    At Landing (67):

    (W7/ W6) = 0.995

    Therefore,

    Mff= (W1 / W0) * (W2 / W1) * (W3/ W2).

    Mff= 0.99*0.97*0.985*0.7034451*0.978044606*0.993*0.995

    Mff= 0.64299

    (Wf/ W0) = 1 Mff

    (Wf / W0) = 0.357

    Estimation of Crew Weight:

    The designed aircraft is a two seater fighter; therefore oly

    two pilots can sit.

    Therefore the weight is consider as 200 kgs

    Wcrew = 200 kgs

    Estimation of payload:

    This aircraft is a Air Superiority fighter whch can carry lots

    of weapons.

    Overall we can carry 5500 kgs of pay load

    Wpayload = 5000 kgs

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    16/55

    Overall Weight Estimation:

    W0 = (Wcrew + Wpayload) /(1 - (Wf / W0) - (We / W0))

    W0 = 3636.36 kgs

    Fuel Estimation:

    Wf= 0.357 * W0

    Wf= 12981.8 kgs

    Empty Weight Estimation:

    We = 0.50*W0

    We = 18181.8 kgs

    Conclusion:

    Thus the overall weight of the aircraft is calculated and this gives

    the ides to the estimation of powerplant.

    Overall Weight = 36363.6 kgs

    Weight of the fuel = 12981.8 kgs

    Empty Weight of the aircraft = 18181.8 kgs

    Power Plant Selection

    To select the powerplant which required for the aircraft and

    to notice the charateristics of the powerplant

    Requirements:

    Thrust is required to specify what type of engine is going to

    be used

    Over all weight is required to calculate the required thrust

    Thrust and drag ratio which is required to calculate the thrust

    Thrust to Weight ratio:

    Assume the Thrust toWeight ratio of the typical fighter as 1

    Overall Weight:

    The overall weight is estimated by weight fraction method,

    therefore the overall weight is about 36363.6 kgs

    Thrust Required:

    T/W = 1

    T = W0 * 1 * 9.8 KN

    T = 356.73 KN

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    19/55

    Powerplant Selection:

    The thrust required is obtained as 356.73KN. The selection of

    powerplant is based on the type of the aircraft. As this aircraft is a

    fighter which carries weapons and some avionics instruments toreflect radar system, so placing of the propeller engine or

    turboprop engine is impossible. Because the path variation cause

    sever damage. So there lies choice between the turbojet and the

    turbofan engine. Since it is mutirole fighter it have to attack the

    enemis from the low altitude also. The thrust at low altitude is very

    less for the turbojet engine. Therefore using Turbofan engine is

    suitable for this aircraft.

    The Required Thrust is 356.73KN. So we may choose an

    engine which have its maximum thrust more than our required

    thrust. In such a way we have selected the Pratt and Whitney F135

    afterburning turbofan.

    So in this case two engines are required to produce the

    desired thrust.

    Conclusion:

    Engine : Pratt and Whitney F135

    Conclusion:

    The control surfaces are the main reason for the three movements.

    The three movements are pitching movement, yawing movement,

    rolling movement. Thus the control surfaces are designed and

    sized.

    DRAG ESTIMATIONTo calculate the amount of drag that is formed in our aircraft.

    Drag:Drag is a aerodynamic force which is parallel to the relative

    wind. Drag forces is occurred in the aircraft by different ways. So

    there are many types of drags are there.

    Parasite drag:Drag that is caused due to the payload that is carried in the

    aircraft.

    Form drag:Form drag is formed due to the shapes that is used in the

    aircraft while constructing it.

    Skin friction drag :

    The skin friction drag is due to the surface

    discontinuities and some rashes in the surface.

    Zero lift drag coefficient:Parasite drag coefficient cfe = 0.0035 (constant)

    Zero lift drag coefficient cdo = cfe*(swet/sref)

    Cdo = 4*0.0035

    Cdo = 0.014

    (swet/srefis considered as 4 from the other fighters value)

    Ostwald efficiency factor e = 0.8K = 1/(*A.R*e)

    = 1/(3.14*3.49*0.8)

    K = 0.114

    Drag coefficient :

    Cd = cdo + k*cLMAX2

    = 0.014+0.173*1.2142

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    31/55

    Cd = 0.269

    Drag at cruise speed :

    D = 0.5*vcruise2

    *s*cd

    *= 0.5*250.3424*250.3424*62*0.269

    D = 93.538 KN

    CLmax/cd= 4.12 = L/D

    L =d*4.12

    L = 385.37 KN.

    Conclusion:

    Thus the drag estimation is done and the drag values are

    estimated in terms of their coefficients.

    Drag at cruise speed D = 93.538 KN.

    PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

    The performance parameters are must to be calculated toknow about the performance based specification of the designed

    aircraft.

    Rate of climb:

    The rate at which the aircraft climbs into the sky. It is

    calculated as follows,

    R/C = ((T-D)*V)/w

    Where,

    T = thrust required

    D = drag estimated

    V = vstall

    W = overall weight.

    = ((348.04173.39)64.541)/31677

    R/C = 57.04

    Take off calculation :

    Vtakeoff = 1.1*vstall

    Vtakeoff = 71 m/s.

    Landing calculation :

    V approach = 250 knots as referred in the book.

    Glide angle :

    The angle at which the aircraft can glide without using the power

    in that time.

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    33/55

    Tan = 1/(L/D)

    =476

    Maximum range(theoretical) :

    Maximum distance covered by the aircraft with the full fuel and

    the full weight.

    R = h/tan

    R = 201168 m.

    As calculated theoretically with altitude is taken as 16500 m.

    Time to climb:The approximate time taken to climb into the sky.

    T = 0h dh/(r/c)

    Where,

    H = altitude

    R/C =rate of climb

    T = 2.4 minutes approximately.

    Flight path radius:

    The maximum radius at which the aircraft turns while manuering

    and performing the stunts.

    R = (6.96*vstall2)/g

    = (6.96*64.5412)/9.81

    R = 2955.36 m

    STABILITY:

    AERODYNAMIC CENTER (AC):

    It is of crucial importance that the aircraft's Centre of Gravity (CG) is located

    at the right point, so that a stable and controllable flight can be achieved.In order to achieve a good longitudinal stability, the CG should be ahead of the

    Neutral Point (NP), which is the Aerodynamic Centre of the whole aircraft.

    NP is the position through which all the net lift increments act for a change in

    angle of attack.

    The major contributors are the main wing, stabilizer surfaces and fuselage. Thebigger the stabilizer area in relationship to the wing area and the longer the tail

    moment arm relative to the wing chord, the farther aft the NP will be and the

    farther aft the CG may be, provided it's kept ahead of the NP for stability.

    The angle of the fuselage to the direction of flight affects its drag, but has littleeffect on the pitch trim unless both the projected area of the fuselage and its

    angle to the direction of flight are quite large. A tail-heavy aircraft will be moreunstable and susceptible to stall at low speed e. g. during the landing approach. Anose-heavy aircraft will be more difficult to takeoff from the ground and to gain

    altitude and will tend to drop its nose when the throttle is reduced. It also requires

    higher speed in order to land safely.

    The angle between the wing chord line and the stabilizer chord line is called

    The Longitudinal Dihedral (LD) for a given centre of gravity, there is a LD anglethat results in a certain trimmed flight speed and pitch attitude. If the LD angle is

    increased the plane will take on a more nose up pitch attitude, whereas with adecreased LD angle the plane will take on a more nose down pitch attitude.

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    35/55

    There is also the Angle of Incidence, which is the angle of a flying surface

    related to a common reference line drawn by the designer along the fuselage.The designer might want this reference line to be level when the plane is flying

    at level flight or when the fuselage is in its lowest drag position. The purpose of

    the reference line is to make it easier to set up the relationships among thethrust, the wing and the stabilizer incidence angles. Thus, the Longitudinal

    Dihedral and the Angle of Incidence are interdependent.

    ngitudinal stability is also improved if the stabilizer is situatedso that it lies outside the influence of the main wing downwash. StabilizersAre therefore often staggered and mounted at a different height in orderto improve their stabilizing effectiveness.

    It has been found both experimentally and theoretically that, if the

    aerodynamic force is applied at a location 1/4 from the leading edge of

    a rectangular wing at subsonic speed, the magnitude of theaerodynamic moment remains nearly constant even when the angle of

    attack changes. This location is called the wing's Aerodynamic Centre

    AC. (At supersonic speed, the aerodynamic centreis near 1/2 of thechord).

    In order to obtain a good Longitudinal Stability the Centre of Gravity CG

    Should be close to the main wings' Aerodynamic Centre AC. For wings with otherthan rectangular form (such as triangular, trapezoidal, compound, etc.) we have tofind the Mean Aerodynamic Chord - MAC, which is the average for the whole wing.

    The MAC calculation requires rather complicated mathematics, so a simplermethod called 'Geometric Mean Chord' GMC or 'Standard Mean Chord' SMC may

  • 7/30/2019 Project RAPP

    36/55

    be used as shown on the drawings below. MAC is only slightly bigger than GMCexcept for sharply tapered wings.

    Taper ratio = tip chord/root chord.

    The mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) distance from the centre line is

    calculated as follows:

    Geometrical mean chord, GMC = (Croot+ Ctip) / 2.
