  • System for weighing fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft by the measurement of cross-axis forces
    Patent number: 6415242
    Abstract: Method and system for determining aircraft weight-related data. Strain sensors are affixed to aircraft support struts to generate signals related to strut strain. Tensioning apparatus applies known tension to the struts and computing apparatus calculates a calibration matrix relating loads to the strain sensor signals. The computer calculates the weight-related data from the calibration matrix and strain sensor signals.
