ABSTRACT:
A measurement device (10) is disclosed that uses the actual hydraulic cylinders of the aircraft landing gear to weigh the aircraft. The device (10) comprises a pressure-weigh sensitive transducer (12) with a flow-through passage (14) and adaptors (20a, 20b) to attach the device to the standardized service valve on the aircraft landing gear. The transducer (12) measures the pressure in the landing gear's hydraulic cylinder. This measurement signal is converted into an aircraft weight and center of gravity location. These determinations are displayed on a converter/display (50). The transducer (12) has a flow-through passage (14) to allow servicing of the landing gear's hydraulic cylinder.
