Scaling Calculations are calculations that also consider scalability. These calculations include all relevant physical, mechanical, fluid, electrical, chemical, thermal, static, dynamic, aerodynamic, acoustic, optical, hydrological, nuclear, structural, and other properties that allow a machine to be effective for a particular purpose.

The typical calculations that are performed are:

  1. Weight and center of mass
  2. Range of motion #

Note: a spreadsheet or education page should be included to give a crash course on each calculation:
