A Refined Method for Wing Weight Estimation and A New Method for Wing Center of Gravity Estimation

摘要

Existing methods for wing weight estimation are compared and steps to refine and expand the procedure are proposed. Results show that the refined procedure yields more accurate wing weight estimation. Literature on wing Center of Gravity (C.G.) estimation is scarce and existing methods are only empirical span and chord percentages. A new procedure is proposed, discussed and verified. C.G. results compare well with available data.
