About This Tool

Our Flying Wing CG Calculator provides users with a simple and accurate way to determine the center of gravity (CG) location for flying wing aircraft. Users input key parameters such as total weight, wing span, fuselage length, payload weight, and payload position relative to the nose or tail. The calculator then applies basic weight distribution formulas, considering the moments created by each component, to output the CG position along the fuselage in centimeters or inches.
This tool is essential for RC airplane builders, drone designers, and aerospace engineers aiming to optimize aircraft balance, improve flight stability, and ensure safe flight characteristics. Its intuitive interface allows quick data entry and instant results, enabling iterative adjustments during the design process.
Key features include responsive input forms, validation to prevent errors, units toggle (metric/imperial), and clear output display. Advanced users can access history logs, switch languages, and export results for record-keeping. Whether for hobbyist projects or professional prototypes, this calculator streamlines the weight balancing process and helps achieve optimal flight performance.

How to Use

1. Enter total weight of aircraft and payload.
2. Input wing span and fuselage length.
3. Specify payload weight and its location from the nose or tail.
4. Click 'Calculate' to view the CG position.
5. Adjust inputs if needed and recalculate for optimal balance.
