We often take the airplane, do you know how much it really weighs?

There is nothing strange about the universe, and this strange can refer to all kinds of people with strange talents, as well as people with strange brain holes. I think the person who asked how much the airplane weighs has a big brain, is he trying to recycle old airplanes and take them to sell. However, as a focus on answering all kinds of questions of the netizen's editor, or for you to organize the following information about the weight of the aircraft for reference.

A, the type of aircraft affects the weight of the aircraft

Generally in accordance with the use, the aircraft can be divided into two broad categories, military aircraft and civilian aircraft. Military aircraft because of the special use of the material, performance and other aspects of the requirements of high, so the same size of the aircraft, military aircraft than civilian aircraft to be heavier.

There are many categories of military aircraft, such as bombers, interceptors and so on, with different types and weights. Overall, planes used for combat are heavier, while military planes used for interception and pursuit are lighter.

Civilian aircraft also have many subdivided categories, we commonly have passenger aircraft, there are transport aircraft, the aircraft used to spray pesticides on a large area every year is called agricultural aircraft, there are also specialized for medical rescue rescue aircraft, and so on. All of these civil airplanes have different weights, and it's hard to define which type of airplane is heavier, it depends mostly on the size of the fuselage and what the contents of the fuselage load are.

Two, the difference between commercial and private aircraft

We usually take the aircraft are generally commercial aircraft, owned by the major airlines, this aircraft is characterized by large size, large capacity, and therefore weight is also very large. Private airplanes, on the other hand, because of the capacity demand is not big, usually smaller size, so the weight is relatively light. Private aircraft, although not many in our country, but very popular in Western countries, they have a lot of airlines specializing in the production of this 2-seat to 6-seat small aircraft, specifically for tourism or private travel use, the market is very good.

Third, the classification of aircraft weight

Different aircraft have different weights, but the same type of aircraft generally does not vary greatly in weight. This weight does not only include the weight of the aircraft itself, such as the weight of the fuselage, the weight of the wing, the weight of the equipment, etc., but also includes the weight of the contents of the aircraft, airliners refer to people, transport aircraft refers to the goods. The weight of an aircraft can also be divided into the weight of the empty aircraft, the weight of the aircraft before takeoff and the weight of the aircraft landing when it reaches its destination, these weights are difficult to generalize with specific data, but what can be known is that the weight of an aircraft is at least a hundred tons.
