Investigation of fuel savings for an aircraft due to optimization of the center of gravity

摘要：

　　The aircrafts center of gravity(CG)has a significant influence on the safety and efficiency,which are determined to a large degree by keeping the CG position within the forward and aft limits.Improper loading reduces the aerodynamics efficiency of an aircraft,resulting in higher flight drag.This paper focuses on the theoretical analysis of the influence of variable CG parameter on the fuel consumption.A new model is developed to predict the fuel consumption rate for an aircraft with its CG at different position.The numerical result indicates that a more aft CG position produces less drag and,in turn,requires less fuel consumption.
