    摘要: A system for use in monitoring, measuring, recording, computing and transmitting the oxygen levels and identification of oxygen contamination within an aircraft telescopic landing gear strut (7). An oxygen sensor (21) is mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts as to monitor, recognize, measure and record the identification of oxygen within the telescopic landing gear struts. The amount of oxygen within each landing gear strut is measured and recorded and downloaded to the responsible aircraft maintenance department. By detecting the amount of oxygen in a strut, steps can be taken to purge the gas from the strut to minimize corrosion of strut components and to prevent internal combustion of the gas and oil in the strut.

    摘要: A method which creates a justification basis to expand an aircraft's (1) Center of Gravity (27) limitations, which are established by the aircraft designer; relating to aircraft landing gear strength assumptions. Strut load sensors such as pressure sensors (79) are mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts to monitor, measure and record aircraft landing gear strut compression loads. A history of measured, landing gear load values is compiled and related to any assumed landing gear loads, which define the life-cycle limit of the landing gear, allowing relief from existing aircraft Center of Gravity limitation caused by landing gear strength assumptions to further expanded CG Limitations beyond current limits, based on measured landing gear loads.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for establishing a justification basis to Aircraft Regulatory Authorities, to allow for a reduction in aircraft sink-speed assumptions. To further allow the aircraft to operate an increased maximum landing weight limitation. A system for use in measuring aircraft vertical velocity at initial contact with the ground, experienced while aircraft are executing either normal or hard landing events. Pressure sensors are attached to the working pressure within the landing gear strut, so to monitor in-flight landing gear strut pre-charge pressure, until such time as the pre-charge pressure suddenly increases, to detect the aircraft has come into initial contact with the ground. Rotation sensors are attached to the hinged elements of the landing gear strut, so to monitor in-flight landing gear strut extension, until such time as the strut extension suddenly decreases, to detect the aircraft has come into initial contact with the ground.

    摘要: An onboard system for use in measuring, computing and displaying the gross weight and location/relocation of the center of gravity, for aircraft (1). Temperature and pressure transmitters and transducers (49, 53) are mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts (8). Transmit those temperature and pressure signals to an onboard micro-computer/controller with redundancy for accuracy and failure protection. The system also incorporates a software correction program to correct and compensate for physical changes to strut components due to temperature fluctuations, O-ring seal (11) drag and hysteresis within modern day 'shock absorbing' aircraft landing gear struts. The computer makes adjustments for internal temperature changes and drag; converts sustained pressures to the weight supported by each strut, and computes the aircraft's current gross weight and center of gravity. The computer also is pre-programmed to illuminate a 'Hard Landing Indicator Light' mounted on the display (29), when pre-programmed individual strut pressure limits are exceeded and sensed during landing. These pressure readings are stored in the computer memory and can be utilized when the aircraft is inspected and serviced.
