For the AFDD82 (HELO) model, the basic structure weight is<br />

0.4908 WMTO<br />

body ℓ 0.6100<br />

Wbasic = χbasicwbasic<br />

where framp =1.3939 if there is a cargo ramp, and 1.0 otherwise. Based on 30 aircraft, the average error<br />

of the body equation is 8.7% (fig. 19-10). The tail fold, wing and rotor fold, marinization, pressurization,<br />

and crashworthiness weights are:<br />

wtfold = ftfoldWbasic<br />

wwfold = fwfold(Wbasic + Wtfold)<br />

wmar = fmarWbasic<br />

wpress = fpressWbasic<br />

Wtfold = χtfoldwtfold<br />

Wwfold = χwfoldwwfold<br />

Wmar = χmarwmar<br />

Wpress = χpresswpress<br />

wcw = fcw(Wbasic + Wtfold + Wwfold + Wmar + Wpress) Wcw = χcwwcw<br />

Typically ftfold =0.05 for a folding tail, and fcw =0.06. Parameters are defined in table 19-7, including<br />

units as used in these equations.<br />
