Wetted aspect ratio = 0.85

 L/Dmax = 15
 Sizing Calculations
 Warmup and takeoff W1/W0 = 0.97

 Climb W2/W1 = 0.985

 Cruise R = 200 mile = 12,15,223 ft

C = 0.5 /hr = 0.0001389 /s
V = 273.4 ft/s
L/D = 15
(corresponding to Aspect ratio = 12/14 = 0.85)
W3/W2 = e[-RC/VL/D] = e-0.04 = 0.95

 Loiter E = 15 minutes = 900 s

C = 0.4 /hr = 0.000111 /s
L/D = 15 x .866 =13
W4/W3 = e[-EC/L/D] = 0.99
 Cruise W5/W4 = 0.95

 Land W6/W5 = 0.995

 W6/W0 = (0.97)(0.985)(0.95)(0.99)(0.95)(0.995) = 0.849

 Wf/W0 = 1.06(1-0.849) = 0.16

 We/W0 = 1.09 x W0-0.05

 Wcrew = 12 x (70) + 40 x (80) = 4040kg

 Wpayload = 15000 litres of water = 15000kg

 W0 = (4040 + 15000) / (1-0.16 – 1.09 x W0-0.05)

 W0 guess value We/W0 W0 calculated
70,000 0.623 88,140
80,000 0.619 86,478
85,000 0.617 85,747
85,500 0.617 85,677
85,600 0.617 85,664

These calculations indicate a take-off gross weight of 85,600 kg is appropriate

 Tail
 Horizontal tail volume coefficient : 0.57
 Vertical tail volume coefficient : 0.026

Large value of tail volume coefficient

is taken because it gives large
permissible c.g. travel which is
essential for a firefighting A/C
