The “Mass of Fuel Tank” in aircraft design refers to the total mass of the fuel tank or tanks installed in an aircraft. Fuel tanks are integral components of an aircraft’s design, and they hold the fuel needed for propulsion during flight. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit for the Mass of Fuel Tank:
Formula for Mass of Fuel Tank: The Mass of Fuel Tank is determined by measuring the mass of the entire fuel tank or tanks installed in the aircraft. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
- Mass of Fuel Tank: The total mass of all wing ribs, typically measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
- Mass of Fuel Tank 1, Fuel Tank 2, … Rib N: The individual masses of each specific wing Fuel Tank component.
