Well, first you will need to put the body of the aircraft inside a wind tunnel capable of at least 200 mph wind, see how many pounds of lift it creates. Depending on how much lift there is will determine how much weight it can take off with.
maximum take off weight is calculated using the aircrafts basic empty weight and adding the weight of fuel, passengers, and cargo. this should be found in your POH (pilot operating handbook). once you have calculated the weight of the amount of fuel you will need, passengers and where they will be sitting, and the weight of your cargo, you should refer to your weight&balance charts.

Is ramp weigt less trip fuel
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

The max takeoff weight of an F-15 is 68,000 lbs.
The maximum take off weight for a 747-400 is 875,000 pounds or 396,890 kilos.
Max allowed weight - tare (empty) weight = permissible payload weight.
Empty weight: 47,200 lb (21,400 kg)Loaded weight: 82,800 lb (37,600 kg)Max takeoff weight: 100,000 lb (45,300 kg)
Gross takeoff weight is essentially the largets amount of weight that an airplane can takeoff with, including the weight of the plane. For example, the GTW of a military C5 is around 800,000lbs. Yes, just 200,000lbs shy of 1 million. Crazy huh..
* Empty weight: 83,000 lb (38,000 kg) * Useful load: 72,000 lb (33,000 kg) * Max takeoff weight:155,000 lb (70,300 kg)
The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 767 is 315,000 pounds, that is the heaviest the airplane can be upon takeoff.
A330-200: Maximum takeoff weight 230 (233) tonnes; 507 (513.7) lbs. x 1000 A330-300: Maximum takeoff weight 230 (233) tonnes; 507 (513.7) lbs. x 1000
The empty weight: is 2,668 lb (1,210 kg) they have a maximum useful load of 2,347 lb (internal) (1,065 kg (internal)) which give them a max takeoff weight around 6,000 lb (2,722 kg).
Assuming you're referring to the CH-47 Chinook helicopter (the preferred method of transport by air in Afghanistan), the CH-47F model has an empty weight of 23,400 lbs. and a max takeoff weight of 50,000 lbs.
