Computation <strong>of</strong> Fuel WeightThis analysis requires information on fuel consumption for thisaircraft flying at a specific cruising condition. Use the payload rangediagram <strong>of</strong> the aircraft to estimate the average fuel consumption inthe trip.The Payload-Range Diagram is a composite plot that shows theoperational trade-<strong>of</strong>f to carry fuel and payload.• As the payload carried increases the amount <strong>of</strong> fuel to conduct aflight might be decreased thus reducing the actual range (distance)<strong>of</strong> the mission• P-R diagrams consider operational weight limits such as MZFW,MTOW and MSPLVirginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 82
