In the context of aircraft design, this term refers to the overall mass or weight of the airframe structure, including all its components and materials. It represents the total mass that needs to be considered in the design, analysis, and performance calculations of the aircraft.
- ṁ is the mass flow rate in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- ρ is the air density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- A is the cross-sectional area through which Airframe Design (in square meters, m²).
- V is the velocity of the Airframe Design (in meters per second, m/s).
