I'm doing some research into advances in aircraft and need to calculate some (rough) values for aircraft consumption per passenger. The only method I can think of is calculating the maximum fuel weight at maximum payload (Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW) - Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)) and...

ah, of course! Thanks! :)

I have an equation which describes force as a function of the velocity of the particle, and using \int ds = m \int v \frac{dv}{F(v)} can calculate the displacement of the particle, using limits for the velocity. Or, if re-arranged, the final velocity can be calculated if the change in...

s is the displacement, sorry. and using a = v \frac{dv}{ds} you get the equation above. The Force only acts in one direcion and the force acts parallel to the velocity.

I'm trying to find the final velocity and the time taken for a particle to tavel a certain distance. I know the initial velocity and displacement and the force as a function of the velocity. Using: F = ma so \frac{F(v)}{m} = v \frac{dv}{ds} so: \int ds = m \int v \frac{dv}{F(v)} Rearanging...
