Parametric Plots
The
plots below show
some of the
preliminary parametrics showing the Basic Mission Gross Weight, Basic
Empty Weight and Useful Load Weights that have been developed from the
data
available for single engine monoplane WWII era aircraftdescribed on
this website.
Caveats
Please
note
that;
- Currently
everything is still
very much a work in progress and subject to further refinement and
revision as I work to verify the data that I have currently transcribed
from the references, and as I work to collect dimensional and powering
data on the specific aircraft that I have weight data for.
- All weight
units are in pounds and power units are in Horsepower.
Basic
Empty Weight and Useful Loads
As noted on the Introduction Page, Basic Mission Gross Weight is equal
to the sum of
Basic Empty Weight and Useful Load Weight. The
two plots below show the relationship between Basic Empty Weight and
Basic Mission Gross Weight, and between Useful Load Weight and Basic
Mission Gross Weight, respectively.
Parametric
plots for the Overaching Structural, Propulsion, and Systems &
Equipment Weight Groups, which make up Basic Mission Gross
Weight
can be found here.
