What is maximum zero fuel weight in aviation?
The maximum zero fuel weight (MZFW) is the maximum weight allowed before usable fuel and other specified usable agents (engine injection fluid, and other consumable propulsion agents) are loaded in defined sections of the aircraft as limited by strength and airworthiness requirements.
What is the maximum weight of an A380?
The maximum allowed weight of passengers (+luggage) and cargo (called payload weight) is the difference between the Operational empty weight (about 270,000 kg) and the Zero fuel weight (361,000 kg). This means the payload weight is about 91,000 kg.
How is the zero fuel weight of an airplane calculated?
Jump to navigation Jump to search. The zero-fuel weight (ZFW) of an aircraft is the total weight of the airplane and all its contents, minus the total weight of the usable fuel on board. Unusable fuel is included in ZFW. For example, if an aircraft is flying at a weight of 5,000 kg and the weight of fuel on board is 500 kg, the ZFW is 4,500 kg.
What kind of fuel does the Airbus A380 use?
The fuel used by the Airbus A380 is either JP 4 or JP 5 jet fuel. Basically this is kerosene with special additives to prevent water and icing. There are international standards around the composition of the fuel so airlines can confidently fuel at any airport.
Why is there a Max zero fuel weight?
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight is an operating limitation intended to protect the wing spar structure by limiting the concentration of load, relative to all up weight, borne by the wings in the middle of the span.
