Which of these is NOT a legitimate use of a weight exchange rate?

  • A.Comparing a heavier but more efficient engine against a lighter one
  • B.Trading structural weight against systems complexity
  • C.Determining the aircraft's certification basis
  • D.Judging whether a drag-reducing fairing pays for its mass

Answer: C

Correct answer: Determining the aircraft's certification basis

The certification basis is set by the airworthiness regulations and the aircraft’s category, and no engineering trade study can alter it. The other three are exactly what exchange rates are for: judging a heavier but more efficient engine, trading structure against systems, and deciding whether a drag-reducing fairing pays for the mass it adds.
