158 AFDD Weight Models<br />
where fcw =1.3131 for ballistically survivable (UTTAS/AAH level) and 1.0 otherwise. The ballistic<br />
tolerance factor fbt =1.0 to 2.5. The fuel flow rate F is calculated for the takeoff power rating at static<br />
SLS conditions; typically K0plumb = 120 and K1plumb =3. Based on 15 aircraft, the average error of the<br />
fuel tank equation is 4.6% (fig. 19-16). Parameters are defined in table 19-11, including units as used in<br />
these equations.<br />

19-7.4 Drive System<br />
The drive system consists of gear boxes and rotor shafts, drive shafts, and rotor brake. This<br />
distribution of drive-system weights is based on the following functional definitions. Gearboxes are<br />
parts of the drive system that transmit power by gear trains, and the structure that encloses them. Rotor<br />
shafts are the structure (typically a shaft) that transmits power to the rotor. Drive shafts are the structure<br />
(typically a shaft) that transmits power in the propulsion system, but not directly to the rotor or by a gear<br />
train. The rotor brake weight encompasses components that can prevent the rotor from freely turning.<br />
The gear-box and rotor-shaft weights for the AFDD83 model are:<br />

Based on 30 aircraft, the average error of the gear-box and rotor-shaft equation is 7.7% (fig. 19-17). The<br />
gear-box and rotor-shaft weights for the AFDD00 model are:<br />
