The formula to calculate the aviation fuel weight is:
\[ AFW = VF \cdot 6.7 \]
Where:
Let's say the total volume of fuel (VF) is 100 gallons. The aviation fuel weight would be calculated as follows:
\[ AFW = 100 \cdot 6.7 = 670 \text{ lbs} \]
So, the aviation fuel weight is 670 lbs.
Aviation fuel weight is the total weight of the fuel used in an aircraft. It is calculated by multiplying the volume of fuel by a conversion factor, which is typically 6.7 lbs per gallon for aviation fuel. This calculation is important for determining the total weight and balance of the aircraft.
Definition: The weight of aviation fuel per litre is determined by its density.
Formula: \( \text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} \)
Example: \( \text{Weight} = 100 \, \text{L} \times 0.8 \, \text{kg/L} \)
Definition: The weight of aviation fuel per gallon is determined by its density.
Formula: \( \text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} \)
Example: \( \text{Weight} = 50 \, \text{gal} \times 6.7 \, \text{lbs/gal} \)
Definition: This calculator estimates the weight of jet fuel based on its volume and density.
Formula: \( \text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} \)
Example: \( \text{Weight} = 200 \, \text{L} \times 0.8 \, \text{kg/L} \)
Definition: This calculator estimates the fuel consumption of an aircraft based on distance traveled and fuel efficiency.
Formula: \( \text{Fuel Consumption} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Fuel Efficiency}} \)
Example: \( \text{Fuel Consumption} = \frac{1000 \, \text{km}}{5 \, \text{km/L}} \)
