Code setup#

This section describes the code used for computing the MTOW for a given wing loading, power loading, and aspect ratio. The code is divided into three modules. The first module defines a dataclass which contains all the parameter values for the airplane. The second and third modules defines a set of functions for computing fuel and empty weight fractions, respectively. These modules are described in following sub-sections:

  1. Parameters

  2. Fuel estimation

  3. Empty weight estimation

  4. Takeoff weight estimation

  5. Performance estimation

Refer to above sections for more details about the modules.
