| Key Words | 23. WEIGHT ENGINEERING - STRUCTURAL ESTIMATION |
| Abstract | During the preliminary design and proposal phases, it is necessary for the mass properties engineer to make weight estimates that require preliminary rough estimates to improve or verify Level I and Level II estimates and to support trade studies for various types of construction, materials substitution, wing t/c, and design criteria changes. The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple and easy to understand, preliminary sizing guide and present some numeric examples that will aid the mass properties engineer that is inexperienced with advanced composites analysis. |
