In flight mechanics, fuel load refers to the quantity of fuel carried by an aircraft for a specific flight. This parameter is a critical consideration in aviation, impacting the total weight of the aircraft and consequently influencing its performance characteristics, including range, endurance, and fuel efficiency. The formula to calculate Fuel load as follows:
Where:
- Wmisf is the Mission fuel weight in Kg.
- Wresf is the Reserve fuel weight in kg
- Wf is the Fuel load in kg.
