The empty weight fraction of a jet transport with fixed sweep is given by ______

The empty weight fraction of a jet transport with fixed sweep is given by ______ Correct Answer 1.02*(Wo-0.06)*1.0

The design take-off gross weight is W0 = Wcrew + Wpayload + Wfuel + Wempty The fuel and empty weight are taken as fractions of gross weight and thus following is given as Empty weight fraction= Wempty / W0 = A*K*(W0) c Where, A and c are constant and dependent of type of Aircraft and K = variable sweep constant For a typical Jet transport aircraft with fixed sweep, A = 1.02, c = -0.06 and K = 1.0.
