Why is estimating an aircraft’s empty weight so important in the early stages of design? ✈️⚖️ In this video, we break down the process of Empty Weight Estimation, where engineers predict the weight of an aircraft’s structure, systems, and equipment—without fuel, passengers, or cargo.

Learn how accurate weight estimation impacts performance, fuel efficiency, payload capacity, and safety margins. We’ll also cover common methods, including historical data, statistical formulas, and weight breakdown charts, used to guide this critical step in aircraft design.
