Need 2.6% climb gradient, currently have 2.8% at 110000KG. What will the new
MTOW to have 2.6%?
It's just a proportions problem. As weight increases, climb gradient decreases (this part is obvious). So the answer must be higher than 110000Kg.
How much is that increase? 2.8/2.6 = 1.077 --> 110000 * 1.077 = 118470Kg aprox.
