For the AFDD82 (HELO) model, the basic structure weight is<br />
0.4908 WMTO<br />

z S 0.2544<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 />
