METHOD FOR INFORMATION SUPPORT OF PROCESS OF LOADING, MONITORING WEIGHT OF AIRCRAFT BEFORE TAKE-OFF AND APPARATUS FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01G19/07 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method for information support of the process of loading, monitoring the weight of aircraft before take-off involves fitting the aircraft with pressure sensors with subsequent generation of signals therein. The signals are converted to the value of the weight of the aircraft and the position of its centre of mass relative longitudinal and transverse axes. Information on the weight and the position of the centre of mass of the aircraft is displayed on a display for the crew before take-off. The current weight of the aircraft is also compared with the allowable value and a corresponding signal is output. Pressure sensors are placed on the entire cargo section of the aircraft and the average weight of the cargo and uniformity of its distribution is determined. The cargo is uniformly placed in the cargo section based on this information. The apparatus for information support of the process of loading, monitoring the weight of aircraft before take-off comprises connected pressure sensors, a processor and a display device in the crew cabin. There are also n pressure sensors which are uniformly arranged in the cargo section of the aircraft.

EFFECT: higher flight safety.
