3.4.2 Determination of WTO, TSL, and S
The time has come to compute the takeoff weight of the AAF. To do this,
information obtained from the RFP, Table 3.E3, and Fig. 3.E4 will be inserted into
the equation

which can be easily recognized as the analytical extension of Eq. (3.49) of
Sec. 3.2.12 to this multiple payload release mission.
The quantities appearing on the right-hand side of this equation are evaluated
thusly:
