Optimization of aircraft center of gravity

In this research, linear programming is the chosen method for optimizing aircraft center of gravity. The method was tested on the Airbus A320 and Boeing 757 aircraft. In order to successfully accommodate the special company requests, certain modifications are applied. Formulation of the proposed method enables the use of real data for the passenger and cabin baggage weight, instead of statistical values which are commonly used. The proposed method is simple to use, modify, upgrade or apply in existing systems.
