2. Aircraft gross weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_gross_weight

   The aircraft gross weight (also known as the all-up weight and abbreviated AUW) is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] An aircraft's gross weight will decrease during a flight due to fuel and oil consumption.

3. Center of gravity of an aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_gravity_of_an...

   Weight and Balance When the weight of the aircraft is at or below the allowable limit(s) for its configuration (parked, ground movement, take-off, landing, etc.) and its center of gravity is within the allowable range, and both will remain so for the duration of the flight, the aircraft is said to be within weight and balance. Different maximum ...

4. Maximum takeoff weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_takeoff_weight

   Takeoff weight components. The maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) or maximum gross takeoff weight (MGTOW) or maximum takeoff mass (MTOM) of an aircraft, also known as the maximum structural takeoff weight or maximum structural takeoff mass, [1] is the maximum weight at which the pilot is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits.

6. Zero-fuel weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-fuel_weight

   While the aircraft is in the air, weight in the wings does not contribute as significantly to the bending moment in the wing as does weight in the fuselage. This is because the lift on the wings and the weight of the fuselage bend the wing tips upwards and the wing roots downwards; but the weight of the wings, including the weight of fuel in ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturer's_empty_weight

   In aviation, manufacturer's empty weight (MEW) (also known as manufacturer's weight empty (MWE)) is the weight of the aircraft "as built" and includes the weight of the structure, power plant, furnishings, installations, systems, and other equipment that are considered an integral part of an aircraft before additional operator items are added for operation.

9. Aircraft design process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_design_process

   The weight of the aircraft is the common factor that links all aspects of aircraft design such as aerodynamics, structure, and propulsion, all together. An aircraft's weight is derived from various factors such as empty weight, payload, useful load, etc. The various weights are used to then calculate the center of mass of the entire aircraft. [37]
