Aviation Fuel Weight Calculator

Calculate Aviation Fuel Weight

Formula

The formula to calculate the aviation fuel weight is:

\[ AFW = VF \cdot 6.7 \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the total volume of fuel (VF) is 100 gallons. The aviation fuel weight would be calculated as follows:

\[ AFW = 100 \cdot 6.7 = 670 \text{ lbs} \]

So, the aviation fuel weight is 670 lbs.

What is Aviation Fuel Weight?

Aviation fuel weight is the total weight of the fuel used in an aircraft. It is calculated by multiplying the volume of fuel by a conversion factor, which is typically 6.7 lbs per gallon for aviation fuel. This calculation is important for determining the total weight and balance of the aircraft.
