    摘要: The present invention concerns methods and devices for determining a load condition of an aircraft. A sensing device (90) is mountable relative to an aircraft strut (13, 14) during loading operations and demountable after loading operations. A data processing device (70) is operable to process output from the sensing device (90) together with aircraft specific data, to determine a load condition of the aircraft.

    摘要: A system and method for determining weight on wheels for an aircraft with at least one landing gear; a sensor associated with machinery Light Detection And Ranging scanner; a processor; and memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to receive signals indicative of LIDAR image information for a landing gear; evaluate the LIDAR image information against a landing gear model; determine information indicative that the landing gear is locked in response to the evaluating of the LIDAR image information; and determine information indicative that the landing gear is compressed in response to the evaluating of the LIDAR image information against the landing gear model.

    摘要: A load measuring sensor set (8) on an aircraft is used under the control of a control unit on the aircraft (102). The load measuring sensor set (8) is calibrated and there is calibration data (316) associated with it. A code is retrieved (step 302) which identifies uniquely the sensor set, so that a remote database (218) can be interrogated (step 308) using the code to retrieve (step 314) the correct calibration data for the sensor set, for use by the control unit (16). The sensor set may utilise an optical-fibre (13) having a Fibre Bragg Grating arrangement (15) which provides optical signature characteristics that provide the unique code and having a Fibre Bragg Grating arrangement (14) configured to measure loads.

    摘要: A method for determining the mass of a body is described. The method comprises the application and measurement of a first motive force to the body to move the body in a first state of motion. The acceleration of the body is also measured at this time. This methodology is repeated for a second state of motion. The measured motive forces and accelerations are then used to calculate the mass, and hence the weight of the body. An accelerometer may be employed to measure the accelerations. The methods may be adapted so as to correct for the angle θ of the ground across which the body is moved and or the tilt angle α of the accelerometer relative to the ground. The methods may employ a novel surface angle measuring device that does not require contact with the ground and which does not require the body to be stationary.

    摘要: A combination apparatus for weighing an aircraft has a plurality of weight scales, each scale being adapted to be supported by a support surface in a position for receiving landing gear of an aircraft thereon. At least one riser supports at least one scale above the support surface, and the height of each riser is selected to position an aircraft on the scales in a level attitude while a weight of the aircraft is being supported by the landing gear on the scales. At least one scale may be recessed in the support surface, and the height of each riser may be adjustable.
