INTRODUCTION
The Weight Rp Equation

For the mission of this contract, the design payload is specified as 'n000 lbs,, a cre-w of three roighs 60G lbs., and the weight of self sealing tanks is assumed to be ,9 lbs, per rallon of fuel.

The remaining unknown, I, is the sun of the weight ratio expressions of all individual components which comprise the empty weight of the aircraft and is, therefore, a function of the desim parameters af- fecting each.
Five parameters are chosen as the fundamental variables of the study. These are:
1. Disc Loading
2. Tip Speed
3. Aspect Ratio
U. Wing Loading
Gross Weight
The na,ior effort of the weight analysis is, therefore, the derivation of the weight expressions for the conFonent items of 5 in terms of these five variables.
Structural Criteria and Weight Prediction Approach
By nature of the broad scope of the parametric analysis utilized in this study, establishment of structural design criteria is limited to .Ter.erali- zations sufficient to insure realistic weight estimations of the aircraft components whose weights are a function, in some manner, of the aircraft leads.
Design loading for propeller blades is established to be trie more critical of the IxP vibratory moments occurring during transition or normal fixed wing flight regimes.

Design loading for the viing tilting mechanism, which is most critical during an asymmetrically braked forward landing roll with wing tilted to vertical position, is approximated by an equivalent 2,63g lead fac- tor applied forward through i.g. of hinged mass when the wing is vertically positioned.
The approach to the probler. of practical weight prediction considers the fact that, in general, design requirements for most of the air- craft components are similar to those of current conventional air- craft, and the weights of these components can be most practically expressed by e.rpiricai equations derived from data on operational aircraft with similar design parameters. These weights are quite representative of current design practice.VJherever required for com- ponents which are peculiar to this type of aircraft,or represent unique applications of conventional components,, detailed treatment on a more analytical oasis is accorded.

DERIVATION OF THE 5 TERM
The components comprising the empty weight items of this aircraft are divided into the following nine groups.
A* Power Plant (Including engines, transmissions, engine controls, accessories, engine mounts, vibration dampers, nacelle.)
B. Propellers (Excluding propeller controls, anti-icing and spinners.)
C. Wings
D. Fuselage
£. Landing Gear
F. Empennage
G, Supplemental control system (includes auxiliary engines, ducts, jet deflecters, fuel, etc.)
H. Wing tilting mechanism
I. Fixed and Operational Equipment (Includes surface control systems, hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic systems, furnishings, navigation equipment, anti-icing, and air conditioning provisions, electron- ics, etc«)
Expressions for each group are derived individually below, and the sum of the expressions defines 31.
A. Power Plant Weight Ratio
Power Plant Weight includes the weight of the engines, transmissions, engine controls and accessories, engine and transmission oil, and oil systems, engine mounts, vibration dampers, firewalls, and nacelle cowling.
The gas turbine enenn«s for this aircraft are similar in construction to the current Allison T-ItO engine, in that there are two power sec- tions geared to a common transmission in each nacelle. From the gen- eralized specific weight curves for engines forecast for 1965 (Reference 1), the following relationship between engine weight and rormal rated power at sea level is derived for the ranpe of horse- powers indicated.

In this expression MQ and B(AF) are not fundamental parameters of the Rp equation, but MQ*in the critical conditions can be related to disc loading and tip speed, and B(AF) will be optimized by special investigation to provide a unique value for each combina- tion of wy and V^,
Critical IxP Moments
Critical vibratory loadings occur in the follov:in^ flieht conditions.
1. Transition from vertical to horizontal flight.
2m Normal Airplane flight conditions.
Moments occurring during transition flight were investigated for all angles of the thrust axis fron horizontal to •"•ertical, using the data of Reference 5 for Mp, the pitching component, and the data of References 6 and 7 for My, the yawing component. It was found that good approximation of the critical moments can be ob- tained by simultaneous consideration of a yawing component arising from a yawing moment coefficient Cy = .0315» and the pitching moment occurring at a thrust line angle of 75° approximated by the product of propeller thrust and an arm of »193xpropeller radius
Moments arising from nom&l airplane flight conditions were cal- culated for critical values of "Aq" per methods of References 6 and 9.
Figure 1 summarises the most critical moments arising from con- sideration of tne two flirht conditions for the disc loadings and tip speeds investi prated.
B(AF)
Both power plant weight and propeller weight are functions of the propeller blade activity factor and the number of such blades, or B(AF): the former, because of the effect of E(AF) upon HP/'T and, therefore, upon power required; and the latter because of its ex- plicit appearance in the propeller weight equation.
Selections of a "best" value of this parameter through a separate optimization procedure is possible due to the fact that for this type of mission, within the range of tip speeds and disc loadings investigated, and the practical variations of B(AF) permissible, it is found that the effect of B(AF) upon the gross weight of the air- craft is due primarily to its influence upon the empty vieight of the aircraft rather tr.an its direct effect upon fuel consumption.

The wing chosen for this study is of conventional aluirdnum alloy sheet and stringer construction with spars located at the 15/6 and 50% chord. Planform and thickneas taper ratios of 211 are assumed; the wing is equipped with leading edge slots and trail- ing edge simple type flaps, and is hinged at the rear spar for tilting. Although the aft $0% of the wing is not continuous across the fuselage, the structural box is not interrupted. For weight purposes a symmetrical 15^ airfoil is assumed.
Critical loading conditions for the wing include +5g ultimate symmetrical maneuvering load factor, and -3.5g landing load factor in the airplane configuration with lg airload effective per Reference 11,
The weight expressions for the wing are those previously reported in Reference 12j which was part of Progress Report Number 2 for this contract, are are not repeated here. However, changes in wing peometry necessitated changes in the values of several structural constants, and the new values are -"p^orded below in Table 2.
In addition, in place of the assumption that WcA^g» the wei$it ratio of power package and propeller,is a constant, the calcu- lated values of thc-e ratios are used as they vary with disc loading and tip speed.

The supplemental control system consistinR of three lightweight turbo.jet engines in the aft fuselage, ducting to the tail, and a mechanism to direct the thrust in the fuselage tail cone, provides thrust required for stability and control during hover and slow speed flight.
Each engine provides 505? of the estimated required thrust so that in the event of failure of one engine, the remaining pair adequate control thrust.
From preliminary balance computations, the total thrust required is estimated to be .0U9 W^ at 6000 feet on a 95°? day.
