What Does MTW Stand For?
MTW stands for MaximumTaxiWeight
MTW, or Maximum Taxi Weight, refers to the maximum weight at which an aircraft is permitted to taxi on the ground. This weight limit is critical for ensuring the safety and stability of the aircraft during ground operations, including taxiing, takeoff, and landing. Exceeding the MTW can lead to structural strain on the aircraft and potential operational issues, making it an essential parameter in aviation performance and safety management.
