Title: Weights for Base Models?
Post by Hazzanz on Jun 24^th, 2019 at 8:58am

Hi All,
I'm trying to find out what some of the weights are that have been used in programming the 757 (with PW2037).

I have worked out that the max number of seats are:
Biz: 16
Coach: 162

Max Fuel appears to be 75500 lbs

I am now trying to find the following weights (all weights in lbs):
MTOW
MLW
Empty ZFW
Max ZFW
Max Cargo Fwd capacity in lbs
Max Cargo Aft capacity in lbs

I realise that I can't max all these out and still fly but I am just after these numbers so that I can plug them into a spreadsheet.

TIA

These figures are for the 757-200 PW 2037/2040 model.

MTOW varies between 230,000lb to 250,000lb
MLW is 198,000lb
Max ZFW is 184,000lb
OEW varies with MTOW between 130,850lb and 130,875lb
Max payload is 53,140lb (that is pax and cargo) - full load of pax (178) will be around 30,300lb, the remainder is cargo - I don't know the fore and aft limits.

The -200RR planes differ only in OEW which varies with MTOW between 125,000lb and 137,000lb and max payload which is between 47,000lb and 58,000lb depending on the MTOW.
