Description from the creator

This video shows how to calculate the Center-of-Gravity (CG) of aircraft using only the weight and position of its constituent components (e.g. wing, fuselage, engines, etc.). Additionally, weight and center of gravity related concepts are discussed.

Please note a mistake at time 11:23 in Step 3. Denominator is shown as 1400, but should be 140.

NOTE: Comments are welcome but are censored to prevent viewer chats from spinning into arguments and name calling. If approved, your comments may take a day or two to show up.

The video uses excerpts from Dr. Gudmundsson's textbook, "General Aviation Aircraft Design - Applied Methods and Procedures," published by Elsevier in 2013.

The book is available from multiple outlets. Among those are:
