Note: These equations are only valid for the British Units System. The program converts SI units to British units for Class II Weight calculations.
The total weight of all tailbooms is computed from:
where:
|
if the main gears are not attached to the tailboom(s). |
|
if the main gears are attached to the tailboom(s). |
Note: 1. To define whether the main gear are attached to the tailboom, use the Gear Dialog Box located in the Configuration Toolbar at the lower left corner of the window.
2. The equation has assumed that the main gears are attached to all tailbooms. Therefore, the tailboom weight works best for twin boom aircraft . Cautions should be taken while using this module if the aircraft has more than two tailbooms.
The weight of i'th tailboom is given by:
